US Starter Home Market Down 300,000 Homes Since 2019

Original: The Starter Home Market Is Down 300,000 Homes From 2019

The supply of entry-level starter homes in the United States has fallen by roughly 300,000 units compared with 2019. Analysts point to rising construction costs, high mortgage rates and builders favouring larger, higher-margin properties. The shortage is making it harder for first-time buyers to enter the market, fueling debate about housing affordability.
