Swing states home buying have nearly doubled since last election
Housing affordability crisis fuels voter concerns in key battlegrounds
Bad news for incumbents in the 2024 election. Housing costs in swing states have skyrocketed since the 2020 election.
The surge in housing prices is ubiquitous across the political spectrum, the report finds. The median housing payment for homebuyers rose 95 percent in red states to $2,066, and jumped 83 percent in blue states to $3,311.
In the swing states, defined in the report as Arizona, Nevada, North Carolina, Georgia, Pennsylvania, Michigan and Wisconsin, the median payment ballooned 92 percent to $2,161. Using the benchmark that households should not spend more than 30 percent of their income on housing, two thirds of the listings in those states are unaffordable for the typical family.
Tha admin is also facing ire from real estate professionals who have expressed concerns over his pitch to cap annual rent increases at 5 percent for landlords who own more than 50 apartments across their portfolio.
“Rent control is a rare instance where the research is fairly conclusive: It doesn’t work,“ National Association of Realtors President Kevin Sears said in a statement. “These measures fail to improve most renters’ financial situation and shift the burden of economic difficulties, inflation and other costs onto the housing provider with no counterbalance.”
Peace be with you
