What happened

Well supportedReported by 7 independent outlets

Research indicates that the home, the largest asset on most American household balance sheets, often sits as a fully concentrated position, which increases risk due to volatility and leverage. Separately, industry members launched the “Let America Build” campaign to address housing supply and affordability.

Why it matters

Some supportBrind's analysis of the reports

Economists note that the high volatility of individual house prices, combined with high transaction costs, produces a lower risk-adjusted return on housing than concentration suggests. The industry campaign aims to inform the public and encourage conversation about increasing housing supply to address affordability issues.
