Consumer Daily Reports

Home prices and housing trends concept
Photo (c) krisanapong detraphiphat - Getty Images
In the Federal Reserve’s campaign to bring down inflation, record-high home prices are in the Fed’s crosshairs. Policymakers see the housing market as a major driver of the overall inflation rate.

A new study of home prices underscores just how much work the Fed has to do in that regard. Real estate site Home Bay reports that the price of U.S. homes has far outpaced the overall rate of inflation over the last four decades and has accelerated in the last two years.

Researchers focused on housing’s cost per square foot. Their study found that the median price per square foot of a home in the U.S. has increased 310% since 1980. Since 2020, when home prices exploded during the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, prices have exceeded overall inflation by 139%.

The median square footage of a new single-family home is 2,356 and is priced at $397,100, making the median price per square foot $169. In 1980, the median price per square foot was only $41.

Highest and lowest cost per square foot

According to the study, here are the U.S. cities where the cost per square foot is the highest:

  1. San Jose ($801)

  2. San Francisco ($656)

  3. Los Angeles ($520)

  4. San Diego ($494)

  5. New York ($458)

Here are the cities with the lowest cost per square foot:

  1. Memphis ($92)

  2. Cleveland ($103)

  3. Pittsburgh ($134)

  4. Indianapolis (134)

  5. Buffalo ($139)

Hoping for a correction or crash

These prices, coupled with rising mortgage rates, have reduced the number of consumers who are actively shopping for a home. A new study by the ConsumerAffairs Research Team suggests that many consumers are waiting out the decrease in affordability and are banking on home prices and mortgage rates to fall in the months ahead.

In fact, our research found that 78% of Americans think we’ll soon face a housing market crash. The youngest consumers – members of Gen Z – are most likely to want one so prices will fall.

Nearly half of respondents in the survey of 1,000 consumers said they believe the housing market will tank next year. About 75% of participants said they plan to buy a home if the market crashes.

Most industry experts say a market crash like the one that occurred during the 2008 financial crisis is unlikely because of the imbalance between buyers and available homes. However, they concede that home prices will drop as affordability declines.

A correction is normally a decline of between 10% and 20%. In the ConsumerAffairs survey, 80% of respondents said they would like to see a correction that would make a home purchase more affordable.

More of CR's test results of Hybrids and EVs: https://www.consumerreports.org/cars/hybrids-evs/?EXTKEY=YSOCIAL_YT One of the primary questions drivers have about EVs is how long do their batteries last, and how much would a replacement cost in the future. We share our expert information on if electric car batteries are expensive to replace, as well as: where more expensive tires wear slower than cheaper alternatives; why a car in Europe might have a better warranty or more features than its US counterpart; warranty coverage for 48V mild hybrid batteries; whether standard, gas-powered vehicles lose range in cold weather like all-electric cars; and how to change the radio station preset on the 2023 Honda CR-V.

Sharing a platform with the nearly identical Toyota bZ4X, the all-electric SUV claims an EPA-rated 222 miles of range, and is offered in three trim levels. We purchased a Limited trim with all-wheel drive for our test program, at a cost of just over $50,000. With an EV market that is becoming increasingly crowded with each passing day, can the Solterra deliver what people love about the Subaru brand in an electric package?

Aprenda más sobre cómo evitar estafas http://www.consumidor.ftc.gov/estafas Learn more about avoiding scams http://www.consumer.ftc.gov/scams ****************************** Transcript: Recibí una llamada, en la cual me decían que yo tenía una demanda por 4 mil dolares. Si yo no pagaba eso, me iban a mandar con Inmigración, y que, bueno, eso iba a ser catastrófico. Pues yo me asusté mucho. Me asusté tanto que, le digo, casi corría yo a la tienda de la esquina a comprar el money order y ya quería que estuviera la gente por el money order y que se fuera. Cuando yo platiqué con mi hijo él inmediatamente me dijo: sabes qué mamá, esto no es real. Pues, empecé a buscar el número en la computadora. El mismo número que le estaba marcando a mi mamá tenía muchas quejas, y de hecho una de las quejas era casi idéntica. Una estafa de impostor es cuando una persona le dice que tiene una afiliación, o que es incluso el Gobierno. Le dice que tiene una deuda pendiente y que tiene que pagar cierto dinero y normalmente es un sentido de urgencia, es "páguelo ya, inmediatamente." A la señora Juárez, igual que a otras personas, la convencen con amenazas, diciéndole que si no pagan la deuda van a ser llevados a Corte, o pueden ser encarcelados. Yo estoy agradecida, gracias a Dios que tenía a mi lado, en primer lugar para exteriorizar lo que me estaba pasando, compartirlo con mi hijo y con mi esposo. Me sentí muy apoyada, muy apoyada simplemente al exteriorizarlo, al compartirlo. Nosotros presentamos una demanda contra la empresa, y después de toda la evidencia que pudimos juntar gracias a las declaraciones de personas como la señora Juárez, el juez determinó que sí, la empresa estaba involucrada en fraude al consumidor y la empresa fue cerrada permanentemente. A mí me da mucha tristeza que personas se presten para este tipo de estafas. Les aconsejo que platiquen esto con personas que consideren ellos que pueden estar un poco más informadas. Si usted recibe una llamada de alguien que no conoce, y le piden que envíe dinero ya sea por una tarjeta pre-pagada, con un giro postal o en efectivo, no lo haga. ****************************** The Federal Trade Commission deals with issues that touch the economic life of every American.
