Map Shows Where Home Buying Power Has Grown Across U.S.
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. In only six of the country's 50 largest metropolitan areas, homebuyers now have more power than they did in 2019, according to a new report by with Cleveland, Ohio, leading the way. In the rest of the country, Americans' homebuying power has shrunk significantly over the past five years, as skyrocketing home prices and historically elevated mortgage rates have plunged the country into a housing affordability crisis. Nationwide, Americans had 8.3 percent less buying power last month than they had in July 2019, according to and the typical U.S. household could afford only 28 percent of the homes for sale on the market. Where Buyers Now Have More Power Than Before The Pandemic "This report shows that even though buying power has dropped nationwide and in most markets, there are some areas where the typical household has seen strong income growth and can now afford to purchase a more expensive home while staying within typical affordability guidelines," Danielle Hale, chief economist at told Newsweek. These include markets like Cleveland, Ohio; Phoenix, Arizona; Richmond, Virginia; Indianapolis, Indiana; Tampa, Florida; and Austin, Texas—the only six major metros where buyers now have more power than in 2019. "The common thread across these metros is that incomes have risen substantially in these areas," Hale said. Job growth is a big part of the story of how homebuyers acquired so much power in these markets. "Job growth in the last 6 years across all of the 50 largest metros has been 5.8 percent but averaged 10.9 percent across these six markets with each, except Cleveland, coming in well above the U.S. average job growth," Hale said. In Cleveland, strong wage gains have boosted the affordable home price from $249,000 to $260,000 between July 2019 and July 2025, a growth of 4.4 percent. In the city, median-earning households could afford 50 percent of the homes for sale on the market—an ideal, perfectly balanced housing market. Rising wages have also led buyers to have more power in the pandemic boomtowns of Phoenix, Tampa, and Austin, even though home price growth in these cities has far outpaced those increases. Even in these rare parts of the country where homebuyers now have more power over sellers than five years ago, the share of homes affordable to median-income buyers is still lower than it was in 2019. Despite Gains, Affordable Options Are Still Rare Research from and the National Association of Realtors has shown that rising inventory "has been concentrated in the median and above-median price tiers, while lower-income households still see lower affordability," Hale said. "Even in markets where income growth has helped boost homebuyer purchasing power, the rise in home prices has pushed the share of homes that are affordable to the typical household lower," Hale said. For a market to be considered affordable, buyers' income needs to keep up with housing costs, financing costs or mortgage rates need to be accessible, and home prices must be reasonable. At the moment, none of these requirements is being met. "In most markets right now, income growth has not kept pace with higher costs stemming from rising mortgage rates. Even in the handful of markets where income growth has outpaced the erosion of buying power from higher mortgage rates, rising home prices mean that a smaller share of what's for sale is available," Hale said. "Each of these three factors has contributed to the housing affordability challenge, and each is likely to be necessary to get the market out of this situation," she added. What the country needs, according to Hale, is to see incomes continue to rise and mortgage rates soften—something that she expects to happen by the end of the year. "I don't expect to get back to pandemic-era low mortgage rates, but every tick lower will improve buying power for some," she said. At the moment, the 30-year fixed-rate mortgage, the most popular form of home loan among Americans, is at 6.58 percent—near recent record highs despite recent declines. Finally, according to Hale, the ongoing home price growth in the U.S. housing market will only ease when housing supply grows across the country, "especially in areas where it is most needed, which is currently in the Northeast and Midwest," she said.

Walmart reports solid second-quarter sales and profits despite a challenging tariff environment
NEW YORK -- Walmart Inc. reported increases in second-quarter profits and sales Thursday as it continues to pull in price-sensitive shoppers for everyday essentials like groceries despite a challenging tariff environment. The Bentonville, Arkansas-based company, the nation's largest retailer, also increased its annual profit and sales outlook. It's among the first group of major U.S. retailers this week to report quarterly results that should shed more light on how consumers are coping with rising prices because of higher tariff costs. The company said Thursday that it earned $7.03 billion, or 88 cents per share, for the three-month period ended July 31. That compares with $4.50 billion, or 56 cents per share, a year ago. Sales rose nearly 5% to $177.40 billion. A growing list of companies including Procter & Gamble, Cosmetics, Black & Decker and Ralph Lauren have told investors in recent weeks that they plan to or have already raised prices because of tariffs, though modestly. None of that has derailed consumer spending. Shoppers spent at a healthy pace in July, particularly at the nation's auto dealerships, even as President Donald Trump's tariffs start to take a toll on jobs. However, some of that spending could have been shoppers buying furniture and other items to get ahead of the expected price increases, analysts said. On Tuesday, Home Depot, the nation's largest home improvement retailer, reported improved sales during its latest quarter as consumers remained focused on smaller projects amid cost concerns and economic uncertainty. But its performance missed Wall Street's expectations. The Atlanta-based company also said shoppers should expect modest price increases in some categories as a result of rising tariff costs, though they won't be broad-based. Target, which has been struggling to reverse a persistent sales malaise, announced a new CEO to take over in February. It reported another decline in comparable sales and said would only raise prices as a last resort. Chief Commercial Officer Rick Gomez said shoppers are focusing on value and so the discounter is leaning more into its store label brands, which tend to be less expensive than its national labels. But it's Walmart that serves as a barometer of spending given its outsized power in the retailing landscape. Walmart maintains that 90% of American households rely on the retailer for a range of products, and more than 150 million customers shop on its website or in its stores every week. Walmart had said back in May that prices had started to increase in late April and got higher in May. But it said a bigger sting would start to be felt in June and July when the back-to-school shopping season went into high gear. Analysts were expecting 73 cents per share on sales of $175.93 billion for the quarter, according to FactSet. Per share results, excluding effects of charges related to certain legal matters and from business restructuring, was 68 cents. Walmart's U.S. comparable sales — those from established physical stores and online channels — rose 4.6% in the latest quarter, slightly higher than the 4.5% gain in the fiscal first quarter. The business was fueled by groceries and health and wellness items, the company said. Global e-commerce sales rose 25%, above the 22% growth in the fiscal first quarter. The company said Thursday it expects earnings per share to be in the range of 58 cents to 60 cents for the current quarter. Analysts expect 57 cents per share, according to Factset. Walmart also expects sales to be anywhere from 3.75% to 4.75% for the current period. For the year, Walmart is raising is per share estimates to a range of $2.52 to $2.62, up from the previous estimate of a $2.50 to $2.60 range. Analysts are expecting $2.62 per share, according to FactSet. Sales are anticipated to increase to 3.75% to 4.75% up from 3% to 4% growth it projected in May.
