The State of the Nation's Housing 2023

Location: Virtual

US housing markets continue to cool as higher costs weigh on both homeowners and renters. On the for-sale side, home sales and construction levels have declined while rental markets are experiencing sharply reduced rent growth and rising vacancy rates. Nevertheless, home prices and rents remain elevated from pre-pandemic levels, leaving millions —including a disproportionate share of people of color—struggling with housing cost burdens, priced out of homeownership, or without shelter at all. Beyond the challenge of affordability, public and private investments are needed to mitigate the risks to the US housing stock posed by climate change, and to expand options for older adults to age safely and successfully in their communities.
