The housing market outlook for 2030 indicates significant price increases in states like Hawaii, Nevada, California, Utah, and Idaho, posing affordability challenges as home prices surge while income growth remains modest.
Future Home Prices in U.S. States Could Soar by 2030 – Outpacing Income Growth
According to MSN, the housing market outlook for 2030 is concerning for many states in the U.S., as prices are expected to rise sharply. A recent SmartSurvey study predicts states like Hawaii, Nevada, and California will see huge increases in home prices almost doubling or tripling current values. For example, Hawaii could see average home prices reaching $1,424,263 by 2030, while California and Nevada are also projected to exceed $1 million each. These housing market increases come at a time when incomes are not rising much making it harder for people to afford homes.
In the housing market in Utah and Idaho where prices are also expected to climb significantly, there’s a big gap between what homes will cost and what people are expected to earn. By 2030, Utah’s average home price could be over $1 million, but the expected yearly income might only be around $56,787. Similarly, Idaho’s home prices may approach $879,313 while incomes are projected to be about $50,047 annually.

Addressing these affordability issues will be crucial for policymakers and leaders to ensure that housing remains accessible and stable for residents in the coming years.
