The U.S. housing market is often discussed as a single market – either recovering or correcting. Our white paper, Housing in Transition: Constraint, Mismatch & Repricing, makes the case that this framing misses what is actually happening.
Rather than a uniform reset, we are seeing a market that is segmenting by housing type, geography, and price point:4
- For-sale housing remains structurally constrained at the entry level, even as affordability has deteriorated materially, displacing demand into rental housing rather than resolving it.
- Multifamily and Build-to-Rent are repricing on different timelines, with BTR moving into earlier recovery as it absorbs redirected demand from a constrained ownership market.
- Student housing offers relative stability, but with widening dispersion driven by institutional strength rather than sector-wide tailwinds.
