The ‘experts’ are suggesting that the increased cost has come due to a bottlenecking of supply and demand. This would lead to a decrease in cost within the next several months.

The ‘starter’ home, a single-family house usually less than 1500 sq ft, hit peak production as the staple of residential housing in late 1970s. The US construction sector was building 418,000 new ‘starter’ homes a year. That peak coincided with homeownership rates peaking, which suggests that an entry-level housing supply has a connection to homeownership.
