• US home prices have soared 47% so far this decade.
  • The price surge has outpaced the gains seen in the 1990s and 2010s, and is nearly ahead of the 2000s.
  • The rising value of homes has coincided with a millennial-fueled demand surge and years of low mortgage rates.

US home prices have soared 47.1% so far this decade, according to a ResiClub analysis of the Case-Shiller National Home Price Index.

The massive price gains seen in the first four years of the 2020s have eclipsed all of the growth seen in the 1990s and 2010s, according to the analysis. Housing prices in those two decades grew 30.1% and 44.7%, respectively.

On top of that, housing price growth in the 2020s is on the verge of eclipsing all of the growth seen in the 2000s, which was 47.3% after peaking at just over 80% before the 2007 housing market crash.

    Can we just band together as like 30 individuals and do the development ourselves? Like I want to find enough people that together we can afford to construct a set of condos without relying on some giant fucking company to do it.

    I’m not kidding, I want to own a home someday

      I wish it was possible, a citizen’s co-op sounds amazing.

      I will say I’ve seen it tried with varying degrees of success so It’d have to done carefully.
