Home Affordability Improves as Inventory Rises and Prices Climb, CoStar Group Reports

CoStar Group Inc.'s Homes.com has released a new report analyzing U.S. home price trends through December 2025, highlighting continued national home price appreciation alongside the first year-over-year improvement in affordability since 2020. The nationwide median home price rose by 1.1%, but housing became more affordable due to higher income growth and lower mortgage interest rates. The report notes a 17% increase in the number of homes available for purchase during 2025, while the earnings required to buy the median home dropped by more than 9%. The Midwest region led in home price appreciation, with Saint Louis experiencing a 7.7% increase, followed by Pittsburgh, Cincinnati, Detroit, and Chicago. Conversely, several Texas markets, including Dallas-Fort Worth and Austin, saw home prices decline. Over 70% of nearly 1,000 tracked markets registered year-over-year price growth in December.
