That’s because there is demand in the rental market. The shortage stems from policy that address the 2008 financial crisis. Wall Street reform and consumer protection act of 2010 really messed this up long term, as it made it more difficult to procure home and building loans, with resulted in about a half million less homes being built annually. After about a decade of that, we are about 4-5 million homes shorts as the largest generation hit their prime home buying years. There are other factors in evolved with high prices, but this is the biggy. You vote for the political party that did this, you have absolutely no right to complain about the high cost of housing.

You are correct! In our area, many many many single family homes were bought up by corporate companies and real estate rental companies. They have raised the rental prices to unaffordable levels and home prices for sale have literally almost doubled. This has priced out the vast majority of family buyers.

THIS IS the biggest driving force. Foreign buyers (AND our government who allows the loopholes which they benefit from) who usually buy housing they turn into profitable slums. During the pandemic they realized they had a slew of inventory they could slum/profit convert! Our laws allow domestic housing abuse, foreigners are just taking advantage of those same lax laws. I dislike Desantis, but applauded his decision to restrict foreign land purchases! AND funny thing is, Americans can't do this in other countries! AND I'd bet there's a US govt official or two profitting from keeping THESE lax foreign housing and land purchase laws alive!!!
Tax the poor. Give breaks to the rich. Enforce strictor zoning. Hike inflation. Dont build affordable homes. Im amazed we have this problem.

Back in the day, when I purchased my first home to live-in; that was Miami in the early 1990s, first mortgages with rates of 8 to 9% and 9% to 10% were typical. People will have to accept the possibility that we won't ever return to 3%. If sellers must sell, home prices will have to decline, and lower evaluations will follow. Pretty sure I'm not alone in my chain of thoughts.

If anything, it'll get worse. Very soon, affordable housing will no longer be affordable. So anything anyone want to do, I will advise they do it now because the prices today will look like dips tomorrow. Until the Fed clamps down even further, I think we're going to see hysteria due to rampant inflation. You can't halfway rip the band-aid off.

@@ShayKMBRwhenever the gov meddles, costs go up for the average person. That is a fact! If you look back not too long ago, the Wall Street and consumer protection active 2010 was put together, which caused about a half million homes to not be built every single year. That is the major reason we have a shortage of houses which intern caused housing crises to spike when the largest generation ever, came into their prime homebuying years. of course there are things like inflation, but the demand due to the shortage is the main reason for the housing prices spiking. If you vote for the party regulation, you lost every single right that you have to complain about high housing costs.

millions entering to compete for homes close the border
There are numerous studies that show there are 14 MILLION homes vacant due to institutional investors as well as speculators asking too much for rent or selling price. We don't need to create more multi-family housing or drastically change zoning laws because those new homes will end up being vacant due to the same institutional investors asking too much for rent. Leave our neighborhoods alone.

I was just thinking that, homes can not be sold unless the homeowners agree to live in them. In recent years every house in my neighborhood has been bought by Rehabbers or investment companies from out of state who then sell or rent them for crazy high prices. Maybe build single family homes for First Time Home Buyers and homes must be sold back to the state and sold again to another First Time Home Buyer or Senior Citizen that way we can keep a tighter leash on the market, it could be done.

1. End foreign ownership of all homes and land in the US. 2. End corporate ownership of homes. 3. Try to fix the insurance industry. 4. Build smaller homes. 5. Build more land efficient, dense, row homes and condos near downtowns. Our path to home ownership was a bit brutal. We bought and lived in and fixed up really distressed homes. And we did the remodeling while working full time jobs. We weren’t flippers as we lived in the homes for years. But each time, we came away with significant equity. We worked a lot of 70 hour weeks. Buy actual books on carpentry, cabinetry, plumbing, electric. KZread helps.

The biggest problem is unlike most other countries, we have let houses be speculative assets for foreigners to invest in. The problem is those in charge, own houses in this city, and the last thing they want is their house price to plummet.

I'm hearing so many people my age (30-40s) who have been in the workforce for awhile but still have to rent unless we're with a partner and have dual income and even then its not a guarantee. A lot of people have basically become resigned to the fact that we're unlikely to every be able to own a home. We'll be renting until we're dead.
Almost like car-dependent urban sprawl and zoning regulations that create only low density single family homes lead a situation where we don’t have enough supply and an increase in traffic. WE NEED HOUSING DENSITY AND MORE MODES OF GETTING FROM POINT A TO B.

I live in a smallish city in central TX. Population is about ~20K, median income is less than 40k a year.

Blah, blah, blah.... let's create a study to hide the obvious fact that price fixing by corporate private equity in the rental market is responsible for the outrageous prices.
While I feel fortunate to have been able to have bought a house, I feel for my kids and their generation. It's truly a steeper climb to get into the "American dream." I've already told my adult son that I'll help him with the down payment, and I should start planning for my daughter when she gets older.

solution: move to an area that has cheaper homes like Oneida County New York median home price $192,000 payment $1,200 a month. A beautiful upstate New York area where I grew up. These homes are out there, just do some research.

The opposite is happening in China now with their focus on highrise apartments, now there are way too many of them.

Block corporations from buying up single-family homes. Also Force the sale of single family homes that they own.

Stop wanting to buy a home. It’ll go back down once ppl stop playing the game. They are taking advantage of future home buyers. All these homes are wayyyyy over priced rn. Not worth it. Move back in with friends or parents

Cancel all of the debts, public and private; put $20,000 in every American adult over 18's pocket, and I can guarantee you the economy will boom and there will be an increase of people who will be finally able to afford rent and a security deposit. It's a pipe dream though.

Probably best not to let people walk into the U.S. from other countries. It's going to increase the demand for housing thus increase the cost of housing... Amongst other things.
