Fed's rate hikes have significantly impacted home buying in the U.S., making buying a home less affordable than ever. First-time and young buyers are struggling to enter the market, with the average monthly new mortgage payment being 52% higher than the average apartment rent. Additionally, the premium for buying a home over renting has increased sharply in Seattle and Austin, Texas.
