The Housing Math No One Wants to Admit

For the first time in more than a decade, the US housing market has more sellers than buyers. There are now 530,000 extra homes for sale, the largest gap ever recorded. On paper, this should be great news for young buyers. In reality, it’s exposing a political and economic dead end.

🐈 Young people have largely stopped buying homes
🐈 84% of Gen Z is delaying homeownership despite the inventory glut
🐈 The median first-time buyer is now 40 years old
🐈 You need about $141,000 in income to afford a median home, while the average salary is $75,000

The core issue isn’t supply. Homes are still unaffordable because mortgage rates are above 6%, up from around 3% during the pandemic. At the same time, existing homeowners, mostly boomers, have seen their home values rise roughly 33% in just five years.

Trump openly acknowledged the dilemma.
Lowering prices would help young buyers, but it would also hit the wealth of current homeowners. Protecting boomer wealth keeps prices high and locks younger generations out.

You can’t push prices down and keep home values elevated at the same time. The math doesn’t care about politics.
