#USHouseMarketStructureDraft
The structure of the U.S. real estate market is a complex ecosystem involving buyers, sellers, real estate agents, lenders, appraisers, and government regulators. Within it, the market is driven by supply and demand, with inventory levels, interest rates, and consumer confidence playing key roles. Homes are typically purchased through agents or online platforms, with mortgage lenders financing most purchases. The market is regulated at the federal, state, and local levels to ensure transparency and protect consumers.
