U.S. Housing Supply Shortfall: Key Insights

According to a recent article by Realtor.com, at the current rate of construction, it would take roughly 7.5 years to close the housing gap that continues to fuel the affordability crisis. While 2024 marked the first time since 2016 that home construction outpaced the number of new households, the country is still falling short.

Many younger adults—particularly Gen Z and millennials—weren’t able to form new households, with about 1.6 million delaying that step due to a lack of affordable options. Expanding housing supply remains a critical part of the long-term solution.
