• Furthermore, the COVID-19 impact was severe on the market. Despite the pandemic crisis, residential real estate in the country is in the recovery phase, as the sales in the country quickly bounced back to pre-pandemic levels.
• Since the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, the property market in the United States has been thriving. Many purchasers took advantage of the low-interest rates to restructure their mortgages, relocate, or take a step toward the American Dream by purchasing their first home. Owing to this, the number of home sales increased sharply in the second half of 2020 and has since stayed higher than before the pandemic. Prior to the pandemic, home prices had been on the rise, but with demand at an all-time high in 2020, the Freddie Mac House Price Index recorded a startling 11.3% increase.
• At the beginning of 2021, about 60% of properties were sold above their advertised prices as a result of the "race for space" among homebuyers. Although the market has begun to moderate, the lack of available inventory and rising construction costs are anticipated to keep pushing up the price of homes.
• The price of single-family homes increased by more than 20% in numerous states of the United States. As of the end of 2021, some of the states with the highest property appreciation rates were Arizona, Utah, Idaho, Florida, and Tennessee.
• Furthermore, the mean value of a single-family home was significantly higher than the average sales price of both new homes and existing homes in states like California, Washington, and Massachusetts.
• The housing market in the Golden State is among the most competitive when compared to other metropolitan areas. A home in San Jose, Sunnyvale, Santa Clara, or San Francisco would cost purchasers more than USD 1,000,000.
• The demand for multifamily houses increased when compared to single-family homes. Housing starts in single-family homes were at 1.11 million units based on the seasonally adjusted annual rate (SAAR) in the second quarter of 2021, and multifamily housing starts were at 467,000 units (SAAR), which is 9% greater than the previous quarter in 2021, and 55% higher than the same quarter in the previous year (2020).
• Furthermore, the inventory of homes on the market increased for both new and existing homes.
