The US housing market is beginning to show signs of recovery with an increase in sales and inventory, yet challenges persist due to significant overvaluation, according to Fitch Ratings. Despite a positive shift in market dynamics, the effects of last year’s price surge have exacerbated the issue, with homes being overvalued by an average of 11.1% across 91% of US metropolitan areas as of the third quarter. This trend of overvaluation is expected to have persisted through the end of the last year, as prices continued to rise into the fourth quarter. Fitch’s analysis underscores the ongoing imbalance in the housing market, highlighting the need for caution among buyers and investors.
