Record-Breaking House Payments Are Making Homeownership Impossible (Video)
In this 19 April 2026 published video, host Michael Bordenaro talks about how record-breaking housing payments have made homeownership increasingly unaffordable in the United States, with the median household now needing to spend a record 47 percent of their income to afford a median-priced home, making the current market more burdensome than at the peak of the last housing bubble. The U.S. housing market has reached its most unaffordable point in recorded history, driven by combined surges in home prices and mortgage rates. The share of first-time homebuyers has dropped to a record low of 24 percent, as many are unable to afford down payments or high monthly costs.
The median household income of roughly $84,000 is no longer sufficient to purchase a median-priced home ($410,000). Many potential sellers are staying put to keep their low, pre-existing mortgage rates, creating a shortage of available homes for sale. Beyond mortgages, property taxes and insurance have surged, with homeowners insurance now making up a record 9 percent of typical monthly housing costs. The median age of first-time homebuyers has risen to 40 years old, as of 2025. Younger generations are facing the steepest barriers, with Gen Z making up only 3 percent of current homebuyers.
The high interest rate environment has resulted in the lowest transaction volume since 1994, with many homes sitting on the market longer despite the low inventory. The difficulty in purchasing has boosted demand for rental properties, leading to rising rental costs. Large corporate investors have also contributed to the market strain, buying up available inventory and potentially reducing the supply of single-family homes for owner-occupants.
