The U.S. housing market refers to the buying, selling, and renting of residential properties in the United States. It includes all types of homes, from single-family homes to multi-unit apartment buildings, as well as all related services and activities, such as mortgage lending, property management, and real estate brokerage.
The health of the U.S. housing market is closely tied to the overall state of the economy, and is influenced by factors such as interest rates, employment levels, and consumer confidence. Key indicators of the housing market include home prices, home sales volume, and the number of homes on the market.
