Redfin reports two upstate New York
metros—Albany and Rochester—had the fastest growth in aggregate
home value, while Florida metros grew more slowly
(NASDAQ: RDFN) — The combined value of U.S. homes gained $2.5
trillion in 2024 to reach $49.7 trillion, according to a new report
from Redfin (redfin.com), the technology-powered real estate
brokerage. In percentage terms, the total value of the U.S. housing
market grew 5.2% year over year. That was the slowest growth in a
calendar year since 2019 and the second-slowest since 2011.
“There are more homes for sale right now than in recent years
and that has led to buyer’s markets in many areas of the country.
That’s good news, but it doesn’t mean homes are getting
cheaper—prices continue to tick up each month,” said Redfin
Economics Research Lead Chen Zhao. “We expect prices—and therefore
home values—to keep rising steadily this year because there are
still enough buyers competing over a relatively small number of
listings, compared to before the pandemic.”
Still, the total value of the U.S. homes has more than doubled
over the past decade, from $23 trillion in 2014.
The combined value of U.S. homes peaked at $50.4 trillion in
July. The drop to $49.7 trillion is reflective of seasonal sales
trends, with overall home values rising during the peak buying
seasons between March and September and falling during the winter
months when fewer properties are sold.
It’s worth noting that new construction also helps underpin the
overall increase in market valuation.
Major metros in upstate New York gained the most value in
2024
Major metros in the Northeast gained the most value in
percentage terms in 2024, led by Albany and Rochester in upstate
New York. Albany’s aggregate home value rose 11.3% to pass the $100
billion mark ($110.7 billion), while Rochester’s total value
increased 11.2% to $124.3 billion.
The rising value can be attributed to a shortage of homes for
sale in the region, which is driving prices up. Out of all major
U.S. metros, Rochester has the lowest number of months of for-sale
supply, while Albany has the eighth lowest.
The value of properties in Newark, NJ rose 11.1% to $410.8
billion, while another upstate New York metro Buffalo climbed 11%
to $107.8 billion. Hartford, CT (up 10.6% to $140 billion) rounded
out the five metros with the highest gains.
Only three metros recorded a fall in total home value, led by
Cape Coral, FL, which dropped 2.9% to $199.5 billion. Next came
North Port, FL (-1.1% to $247 billion) and Honolulu (-0.4% to
$279.8 billion). West Palm Beach, FL (+0.3% to $471.7 billion) and
Tampa, FL (+0.8% to $537.1 billion) rounded out the five major
metros with the slowest growth.
Florida’s housing market faced multiple headwinds in 2024. The
pandemic-driven construction boom increased housing supply, right
as buyer demand slowed due to the relative lack of affordability
compared to just a few years ago. On top of those impacts, natural
disasters—including major hurricanes in October—have led to higher
insurance costs and increased climate-related concerns for
buyers.
San Diego and Seattle knock on door of trillion-dollar
club
There are eight U.S. metros where the total value of homes tops
$1 trillion, led by New York, which saw values rise 9.4% to $2.43
trillion in 2024.
San Diego and Seattle continue to knock on the door of the
trillion-dollar club and look set to join the list in 2025, if home
values keep increasing at a similar rate.
Millennials now own more than 20% of the U.S. home
market
Millennials now own more than 20% of the U.S. home market, with
their generation’s total home value rising 18.8% year over year to
$9.7 trillion in the third quarter of 2024.
The growth for millennials is due to a number of factors,
including being the largest generation by population and having
reached an age and financial position where they make up the
largest share of the homebuying market.
The millennial generation’s growth is nearly four times faster
than that of baby boomers, who saw their total home value grow 5.2%
to $19.8 trillion. Boomers still own 41.1% of the total U.S.
market, the largest share of any generation.
The value of homes owned by Gen X increased 4.6% to $14.1
trillion, while the Silent Generation home values fell 3.7% to $4.6
trillion.
Growth of rural home values outpaces suburban and urban homes
for seventh consecutive year
Rural home values outpaced those in urban areas and the suburbs
for the seventh consecutive year, jumping 6.4% year over year to
$8.1 trillion. The total value of homes in urban areas rose 4.9% to
$10.6 trillion, while the value of homes in the suburbs increased
5.1% to $30.8 trillion.
There are around 59 million homes in the suburbs, compared to 23
million in urban areas and 22 million in rural areas.
