Prices are a function of supply and demand. For the last 15 years in the US there have been fewer homes built than households created. This has resulted in a huge gap in housing both for purchase and for lease. Something similar to this happened in the 1920s and 30s, as the cost of construction rose and fewer homes were built, leading to a rise in house prices that was not relieved until the late 1940s when housing construction boomed, and prices finally reduced. It is likely that we will eventually see prices come down, but only once several issues of financing, both for builders and buyers are addressed to bring down the cost of producing housing.
Housing prices can fluctuate over time, and it is not uncommon for prices to come down in some market conditions. Some factors that can lead to a decrease in housing prices include:
Economic recession: A slowdown in the economy can lead to job loss and reduced income for many people, making it harder for them to afford to buy or rent a home. This can lead to a decrease in demand for housing, which can in turn lead to lower prices.
Overbuilding: When too many homes are built in a particular area, there may be more supply than demand, which can lead to lower prices.
Higher interest rates: When interest rates go up, it becomes more expensive for people to borrow money to buy a home, which can lead to a decrease in demand and lower prices.
Changes in government policy: Government policies that affect the housing market, such as changes in tax laws or mortgage regulations, can also impact housing prices.
That being said, real estate markets tend to be local, meaning that even if the housing prices are decreasing in a certain area, it might not necessarily be the case in another area. Additionally, prices of real estate can also vary depending on the type of property and the location, even within the same city.
