Zillow Reports U.S. Housing Shortage Could Be Eased by Building on Vacant Lots
Zillow has estimated that the United States is currently facing a shortage of approximately 4.7 million homes. The real estate company suggests that building on every listed vacant lot could reduce this shortage by more than 6%. This analysis highlights the potential for addressing the housing crisis by utilizing available land more effectively. The shortage has been attributed to various factors, including increased demand for housing, supply chain disruptions, and rising construction costs.
