US Election: The American housing dream
Manage episode 433026400 series 1301443
As prices for homes and rents continue to rise in many towns and cities, it's one of the key issues for voters.
In 2023 the average price of a home in the United States was $495,100, six per cent higher than a year earlier, though the signs are prices may now be starting to fall.
That’s partly because mortgage rates have spiralled as high as 7% for many new buyers – making repayments prohibitive.
We ask business owners working in housing to tell us why, and what’s the fix?
Presenter: Ed Butler Producer: David Cann
