Rhea-AI Summary

The homeownership rate for Black households has grown faster than average since 2019, but remains below the 2004 peak of 49.7%, currently at 46%. Almost 1 in 4 Black mortgage applicants are denied, compared to 1 in 10 white applicants, primarily due to credit history issues. The value of Black-owned homes is significantly lower, contributing to a $3 trillion wealth gap between Black and white families. Zillow is leveraging technology to mitigate these disparities, advocating for changes to credit scoring to include rent payments and making down payment assistance easily accessible.

Despite improvements, the gap in homeownership rates and home values between Black and white households remains substantial, affecting wealth accumulation and financial stability.

Rhea-AI Summary

Zillow's latest report reveals that Texas and Florida dominate the top places for home buyers based on their new market heat index, which places seven out of the top ten markets in these states. Key markets like Austin and San Antonio have surpassed pre-pandemic inventory levels, easing competition.

Despite high mortgage rates and increased inventory, the U.S. market remains a seller's market. Home values have increased by 1.2% from March to April and are 4.4% higher than last year, with the typical home now valued at $359,402.

Buffalo, NY ranks as the best market for sellers, followed by coastal tech hubs and Midwest metros. The share of listings with a price cut reached 22.4% in April, the highest in six years, potentially indicating softening demand. Homes sold in 13 days on average, three days slower than last April.

Overall, inventory climbed 18% year-over-year, while new listings went up nearly 16%. However, total inventory remains 36% below pre-pandemic levels.
