U.S. home prices have set monthly record highs for over two years straight, pricing out<\/a> many homebuyers and keeping more home sellers on the sidelines. Prices skyrocketed during the pandemic and have remained elevated since, largely due to<\/a> persistent inflation and a chronic inventory shortage.<\/p>\n

But the market is starting to shift. Prices are growing more slowly as demand cools and more sellers offer discounts<\/a>, helping affordability improve<\/a> and setting the stage for a longer-term housing market “reset<\/a>” back to normalcy.<\/p>\n
