Homeownership remains a powerful wealth-building tool. A $50K IRA investment could grow to ~$130K in 10 years, while the typical homeowner gained $232K+ in equity. Yet the IRA homebuyer withdrawal limit remains $10K—just 2% of today’s median home price.

40% of the 50 largest metros have falling year-over-year home prices

25.5% of the 200 largest metros have falling year-over-year home prices

The data reason, largely, for the gap above is that the Midwest has a lot of smaller metros

The meaning of a $1 million home has changed. In 2005, 1.5M owner-occupied homes (2%) were worth $1M+, rising to 6.9M (8%) in 2024. In many markets, it reflects decades of home price appreciation—not luxury.

The price to insure a home is based more on the buyer than the house itself, which is why one owner can pay $1.2K a year while a neighbor pays $2.1K.

Housing supply isn’t just about quantity—it’s about the right mix. Three-bedroom homes remain the most common, while 4-bedroom homes have grown from under 20% of 1950s housing stock. As households evolve, home design matters too.

Ugly housing statistics so far this July.

Mortgage applications down 41% from same period in 2019.

Pending sales in June fell YoY, 2nd worst June reading ever.

Google searches for houses are falling.

All this is combining to make 2026 one of the worst summer housing markets in recent memory.

Reventure's demand index is now back down to an 8/100 (which is near the lowest level ever, worse than 2008).

Sales volumes will drop in future months, and I wouldn't be surprised if existing sales counts drop below 4.0 million annualized.

Silver lining: if you are buyer with intent, the next several months will have lots of discounts, especially in the South and West.
