Quick Glance: Housing Market: Powell Warns of Persistent Shortage
  • Speaking before the Senate Banking Committee, Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell stated that the U.S. housing market is undersupplied and will continue to be so in the years to come.

  • Powell emphasized that the housing shortage is due to structural issues such as zoning difficulties and challenges in obtaining labor and materials for builders.

  • He further explained that even as mortgage rates normalize, there will still be a nationwide housing shortage as many individuals are not moving due to low mortgage rates, resulting in a limited supply of available homes.

  • Powell also addressed the challenges in the commercial real estate sector, specifically in the office segment, and how this could impact banks. He highlighted the likelihood of more bank failures in the coming years, particularly among small and medium-sized banks grappling with issues in the commercial real estate sector.
