The cost of buying a home in the US rises to $2,750/month, the second highest ever recorded, according to Reventure.

Prior to the pandemic in 2022, the average home in the US would cost $1,400/month. In other words, it is now 100% MORE expensive to buy a home in 2024 compared to 2020. Even at the peak of the 2008 Financial Crisis, the average home payment peaked at $1,550/month. The average US family would need to spend 44% of their PRE-TAX income to buy a home today.
