Cities Experience Soaring Home Prices: Although the real estate market seems to be finally cooling off, rising property prices have been a distinguishing feature of the previous economic landscape.
U.S. house prices have increased by more than 100% throughout the last ten years, which includes recovery periods from both the Great Recession and the COVID-19 pandemic.
The affordability of housing has decreased, while homeowners’ real estate wealth has increased significantly.
Even if the COVID-19 epidemic and other special circumstances contributed to some of the recent price hikes, above-average house price growth is a common occurrence during economic downturns.
Nationwide disparities exist in the post-recession economic recovery trajectory, which has persisted after the conclusion of the COVID-19 epidemic and the Great Recession.
