An expert projected slower US population growth could limit demographic demand to 320K new homes annually over the next few years nationwide.
Using annual population growth of 800K and ~2.5 people per household, the outlook implied demand for 320K additional housing units each year.
That 320K figure measured demand implied by population growth, not the existing housing shortage, highlighting that separate metrics answer different national housing questions.
The latest weekly survey showed 30-yr fixed mortgage rates easing slightly but staying in the low-7% range, a financing change separate from demographic demand.
The outlook projected housing starts at 1.32M in 2026 and 1.24M in 2027, underscoring that construction forecasts and demographic demand measure different things.
