(STACKER) – U.S. home prices have set monthly record highs for over two years straight, pricing out many homebuyers and keeping more home sellers on the sidelines. Prices skyrocketed during the pandemic and have remained elevated since, largely due to persistent inflation and a chronic inventory shortage.

But the market is starting to shift. Prices are growing more slowly as demand cools and more sellers offer discounts, helping affordability improve and setting the stage for a longer-term housing market “reset” back to normalcy.
