As of June 2025, the U.S. housing market has transitioned into a buyer's market, with approximately 500,000 more home sellers than buyers—a 33.7% surplus, the widest gap on record since 2013. Despite this shift, affordability remains a significant hurdle due to high home prices and mortgage rates, particularly impacting first-time buyers.
