In 2022, only 21% of U.S. homes were affordable for typical households, a decrease from 40% in 2021, marking the lowest share on record. The drop was driven by a 53% decline in affordable listings and rising mortgage rates, now averaging 6.65%. Home prices surged 32% since the pandemic, contributing to the crisis. Black households faced a significant disparity, with only 9% of homes affordable compared to 28% for white households. The Biden administration's cuts to mortgage-insurance rates, effective March 20, aim to assist low-income buyers. Although the landscape is challenging, analysts anticipate improvements in affordability as rates stabilize and incomes rise.
The U.S. home-sale price median dipped 0.6% year-over-year in February, marking its first decline since 2012, amid rising mortgage rates averaging 7.1%.

Homeowners face record-high mortgage payments, low housing inventory, and are disincentivized to move due to low mortgage rates. California homeowners tend to stay the longest, averaging 18.2 years in Los Angeles. The increasing age of the population and ongoing housing supply issues suggest that homeowner tenure may rise again in the coming years.
A record 25% (24.9%) of home searchers on Redfin.com sought to relocate to different U.S. metros in January 2023, influenced by remote work and high housing costs.
