GM John,

Hooray for the Great stats for all the homeowners!  But what about the Buyers?? Builders need some form of incentive to construct lower-priced "small" or "tiny" homes for purchasers who want to buy but cannot afford the ever-increasing home prices.  As values increase, fewer buyers will be able to afford to enter homeownership. Our government, which is spending insane amounts of money on wars and other nonsensical items, needs to address how to expand our economy (adding additional construction jobs, if they can find employees!), allowing additional purchases of secondary items, e.g., refrigerators, stoves, dishwashers, etc., for basic homes that do not include them.

Hello Philip A. Raices you are right, these are great stats for homeowners. But, it can be complicated market for home builders and buyers, especially first time home buyers. Thank you for the comment.

Great post, John! Those Q1 2026 stats are incredible—an $810 billion jump in owner-occupied household values really highlights the massive wave of equity wealth homeowners are sitting on right now. It's an incredible time for building long-term equity, even with mortgage growth ticking up. Thanks for keeping us updated with these vital market reports!

Having equity in a home is a really good thing, and I am sure many people have plenty of equity in their homes!
