Location: Federal Reserve Bank of Boston

This year, the US housing market is shrouded in uncertainty and unease. High home prices and interest rates have pushed sales to their lowest level in 30 years; insurance premiums and property taxes are on the rise; high rents have left record numbers with cost burdens; and wildfires have highlighted the growing dangers of climate disasters. Meanwhile, households find diminished federal support, with the possibility of an economic downturn that would only exacerbate these challenges.
