House sales

 Newsweek -  Only 28 percent of homes currently for sale across the country are affordable for the typical U.S. household, according to a new report, showing that homeownership continues moving further out of reach for Americans even as the market finally slows down.

The August 2025 Buying Power Report from Realtor.com shows that, as the maximum affordable home price for a median-income household in the U.S. has fallen to $298,000, just a little over a quarter of all homes on the market are priced within reach of the typical U.S. household.

Back in 2019, before the pandemic homebuying frenzy, the maximum affordable home price for a median-income household was nearly $30,000 higher, at $325,000
