Housing Costs Soaring

The median monthly cost for a home has surged to $2,775, which now exceeds the total family income for a third of American families. Additionally, around 40% of American renters have abandoned the dream of homeownership due to the prohibitive costs and the rising mortgage rates, now at 7.4%. This unattainable housing market is leaving many young families struggling to find affordable living spaces.
