What Are Mortgage Benefits?
Your employees are facing more challenges than ever for basic housing stability.
- Home prices have risen significantly, with the median home price increasing by over 54% since 2019.
- Mortgage rates have been high, averaging close to 7% for much of 2024.
- The combination of high prices and rates has made monthly mortgage payments much less affordable.
- There is a severe shortage of affordable housing supply, estimated between 1.5 to 5.5 million units short of what's needed.
- Limited availability of starter homes has created a very competitive market
- The wealth gap between young homeowners and renters has increased over the past 10 years.
- Disparities in inheritances and family assistance for down payments are exacerbating the divide.
- High student loan debt makes it more difficult for many young people to save for a down payment.
