#USHouseMarketStructureDraft The U.S. housing market in 2025 is navigating a complex landscape of affordability challenges, regional disparities, and evolving buyer preferences. High mortgage rates, averaging around 6.76%, continue to deter potential buyers, especially first-time homebuyers, leading to a record median age of 38 for first-time buyers and a historic low share of 24% in total home purchases . Inventory levels have slightly improved, with a 3.9-month supply in January, but remain below the 5 to 6 months typically needed for a balanced market . Regional variations are evident; while the Sun Belt states like Texas and Florida experience stronger housing activity due to robust construction and offerings for first-time buyers, the Northeast faces challenges from limited new construction and high land costs . Technological advancements such as 3D printing, robotics, and AI are revolutionizing the housing industry, potentially reducing costs and improving energy efficiency .
