The US housing market gained $6.9T during 2021, the most in a single year, and doubled in value in the past 10 years.
Housing Market Doubles Over Past Decade
The value of private residential real estate in this country exploded by $6.9T in 2021 for a total of $43.4T. This $43.4T is double the housing market value since the dregs of Great Recession lows.
Since hitting the market value of $40T in June 2021, market gains averaging more than a half a trillion dollars per month have been the standard. Comparing the trajectory of market gains over just 30 years ($30T in July 2017, $20T in 2004 and $10T in 1994, according to the FHFA and S&P Case-Shiller), such housing market growth is staggering.
