The housing boom that followed the pandemic saw U.S. home values break numerous records. For the first time, the national median resale price exceeded $400,000.

However, the boom is now over. Prices are no longer rising at an exponential rate; in certain markets, property values are stagnant, and some markets are at serious risk of decline.

The two-pronged attack of rising mortgage rates and escalating affordability issues is to blame, according to housing economists.

Price weakness is showing up in high-priced metro areas that once ranked among the hottest in the nation. The once-frothy markets in the Seattle area, home of Amazon.com Inc, AMZN is teetering on the largest pullbacks in home values, according to CoreLogic’s monthly home price index.
