Downsizing Homeowners Hit The Jackpot Amid Skyrocketing Property Values
Portfolio Pulse from Bibhu Pattnaik
The U.S. housing market has seen a significant appreciation in property values, likened to homeowners 'winning the lottery' by Zillow Group's chief economist, Skylar Olsen. The total valuation of the U.S. housing sector has reportedly jumped by nearly 50%, reaching $52 trillion. This has benefited homeowners looking to downsize, allowing them to sell their properties at a premium and buy smaller homes without accumulating more debt. Companies like Redfin Corp., Zillow Group, Anywhere Real Estate Inc., and RE/MAX Holdings, Inc. have been at the forefront of the real estate market. ETFs such as iShares U.S. Real Estate ETF and Real Estate Select Sector SPDR Fund offer diversified exposure to the industry.
