Back to EpisodesU.S. Housing Shortage Hits 10 Million Homes, White House Says
Description
The U.S. housing shortage has reached a staggering 10 million homes, according to a new White House report.
In this episode, Kathy Fettke breaks down what's driving the supply gap, from post-2008 underbuilding to rising regulatory costs, and why affordability continues to worsen.
We also explore how potential policy changes could impact new construction, mortgage access, and long-term economic growth.
For real estate investors, the takeaway is clear: limited supply continues to support home prices and rents — even in a higher-rate environment.
