- US home prices have soared 47% so far this decade.
- The price surge has outpaced the gains seen in the 1990s and 2010s, and is nearly ahead of the 2000s.
- The rising value of homes has coincided with a millennial-fueled demand surge and years of low mortgage rates.
US home prices have soared 47.1% so far this decade, according to a ResiClub analysis of the Case-Shiller National Home Price Index.
The massive price gains seen in the first four years of the 2020s have eclipsed all of the growth seen in the 1990s and 2010s, according to the analysis. Housing prices in those two decades grew 30.1% and 44.7%, respectively.
On top of that, housing price growth in the 2020s is on the verge of eclipsing all of the growth seen in the 2000s, which was 47.3% after peaking at just over 80% before the 2007 housing market crash.
It’s these deep pocket corporations that I think will keep a major housing bubble burst from happening or when it happens it will be fast.
They can buy x number of houses now at these inflated prices, they can but 10x X number of houses with a major downturn in home values. Then with all this buying of homes the prices shoot back up… At least that is how my high school level economics knowledge brain sees it.
