How Housing Costs Are Driving U.S. Birth Rates to Record Lows

from Real Estate News: Real Estate Investing Podcast · host Kathy Fettke/ Real Wealth

U.S. birth rates have fallen to a record low, and soaring housing costs are a major factor. In this episode, Kathy Fettke explores new data from the CDC and Realtor.com showing how rising home prices have reshaped family planning, from delayed homeownership to smaller household sizes. We also discuss research from the National Bureau of Economic Research that links housing costs directly to fertility decisions. For investors, these trends highlight how affordability challenges are influencing both demographics and the future of the housing market.
