Is the dream of home ownership slipping out of reach for many Americans?
Prices are climbing, supply can’t keep up with demand, and high interest rates are keeping sellers on the side-lines.
Tariffs and rising construction costs are squeezing builders too, piling more pressure on families and the economy.
We hear from first-time buyers, builders and real estate agents all trying to navigate the changing market.
