Home prices across the United States continued their upward climb in the third quarter, with the majority of metro areas seeing year-over-year gains. According to the latest National Association of REALTORS® report, tight inventory and strong demand have driven notable price increases in several regions, with markets like Trenton, Lansing–East Lansing, and parts of the Northeast and Midwest posting some of the sharpest growth. This trend highlights ongoing strength in housing wealth, even as affordability challenges persist for many buyers.
