There are many investment opportunities in the field of real estate stocks

Although US housing prices have risen sharply, they may continue to rise before reaching the level of the last housing bubble.

Driven by factors such as historically low interest rates, a surge in new demand during the new crown pneumonia epidemic, and insufficient supply caused by supply chain bottlenecks, the U.S. property market will be extremely hot in 2021, and there will even be a phenomenon of home buyers queuing to "rob houses". In July, there were only 34,000 completed new houses in the US real estate market. Since 1973, the average number of completed new houses in July each year is 87,300.

A large number of unmet demand for home purchases has driven the rise of housing prices in the United States. A report issued by the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) on August 31 showed that in the 12 months ending in June, the U.S. housing price index rose by a record 18.8%.

"Barron's Weekly" believes that some of the factors driving the rise of US housing prices still exist, and prices will continue to rise in the future. However, the crash that some people worry about is unlikely to happen, because the property boom this time is different from the one at the beginning of this century. For investors, there are many investment opportunities in the field of real estate stocks under the expectation that housing prices will continue to rise.
