This BREAKING NEWS ARTICLE Is About The Housing Shortage Facing Homebuyers And Skyrocketing Prices

The U.S. is facing a severe Housing Shortage Facing Homebuyers And Skyrocketing Prices. The housing market was booming prior to the coronavirus outbreak in February 2020. All states had their governors exercise their executive stay-at-home orders and were shut down. Unemployment rates hit historic lows. At its peak, over 50 million Americans filed for unemployment. The unemployment rate was under 3.5% prior to the coronavirus pandemic. At its peak, the unemployment rate is close to 20% in the U.S.  However, the economy rebounded under the leadership of President Donald J. Trump and his administration.

Housing Market Booming Despite Political Unrest

The U.S. has a new president, Joe Biden. There is a lot of talk that Joe Biden and countless democrats have cheated in the 2020 election. Fact-checking is in progress and we will soon find out whether we have a real president or a fake president that cheated. Again, time will tell whether or not Biden and Harris cheated to get elected. The first nine months under the Biden Administration have been disastrous. The border wall construction has been halted and suspended indefinitely. Inflation has skyrocketed. Biden and Secretary of State Antony Blinken have decimated Afghanistan due to their poor leadership killing 13 Americans. The country is headed towards higher interest rates. However, the housing market is strong. There is a housing shortage in the United States. Mortgage rates are still at historic lows.  The unemployment rate today is under 5%. The economy is booming despite the policies of Joe Biden and Kamala Harris which is setting the country back.

Strong Housing Market And Home Shortage

The housing market is fueled by the lowest mortgage rates in the history of the United States. Mortgage rates are under 3.0% for a 30-year fixed-rate mortgage. Never in the history of the United States have so many renters applied for a mortgage to purchase a home. There are more homebuyers looking to find a home to purchase than an inventory of homes. Demand is so strong, housing prices are rising like never before. Many apartment renters in mismanaged cities like Chicago are fleeing to the suburbs and buying homes.

Housing Shortage Is Skyrocketing Home Prices

Homebuyers are pulling the trigger to purchase a home today rather than waiting. This is mainly due to the lowest mortgage rates in history. 30-year fixed-rate mortgages are under 3.0% However, homebuyers are facing a major dilemma which is a major housing shortage and increasing home prices.

See the graph showing how the inventory of homes is getting scarce:

American Homes Get Scarce

The decline in months supply of available single-family homes

• Not just analysts, but most homebuilders were bracing themselves for another housing meltdown worse than the 2008 financial crisis
• Things turned out the opposite way
• The coronavirus outbreak created a major exodus of city dwellers to the suburbs
• Renters in high priced apartments started migrating to the suburbs to get more homes for the money and more space
• Chicago, which is run by an incompetent Mayor, has never seen the number of taxpayers moving out of the city to the suburbs

Why would anyone live in a city like Chicago that has major riots, the highest murder rate in the nation, high crime rates, public corruption, high taxes, and incompetent politicians that keep on raising taxes and are clueless in running city government?

What Experts Say About The Shortage Of Home Inventory

At the rate of home prices skyrocketing, it will shut many home buyers out of the market. The demand for homes is great. However, a severe shortage of inventory will skyrocket home prices where it will affect first-time homebuyers or homebuyers looking for affordable housing.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) and the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) have been increasing the maximum loan limits for the past four years.

Major national homebuilders are thriving with business. However, the cost of construction has skyrocketed due to the high cost of lumber and other home-building supplies. Due to the rising costs of lumber and construction materials, homebuilders have no other choice but to raise home prices. Homebuilders are hoping and praying the cost of lumber will drop significantly.
