☆ It's not going to get any easier to buy a house in the next 2 years, economist says
▼ + stars: | 2024-12-02 | by ( Matthew Fox | ) www.businessinsider.com time to read: +2 min

AdvertisementThe housing affordability crisis will persist through 2026 due to rising home prices and higher mortgage rates. High mortgage rates are driven by Donald Trump's expected inflationary policies, limiting the Federal Reserve's rate cuts. Thomas Ryan, an economist at Capital Economics, said the two driving factors behind the housing affordability crisis — high prices and high mortgage rates — are likely to continue moving higher through the next two years. Ryan estimates that the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate will hover around 7% for much of 2025 and likely not dip to 6% until the end of 2026. "With borrowing costs elevated, house prices at all-time highs, and inventory scarce, it is no wonder that households are downbeat about home buying," Ryan said.
