美国面临起步住房短缺问题,2023年,只有9%的新建住房不到1 400平方英尺,低于1982年的40%。 The U.S. is facing a shortage of starter homes, with only 9% of newly built homes in 2023 being under 1,400 square feet, down from 40% in 1982. 这一下降是由于限制性分区法、建筑成本上升和土地可用性有限等因素造成的。 This decline is due to factors like restrictive zoning laws, rising construction costs, and limited land availability. 首次购房者的中位年龄从1981年的29岁上升到38岁,这反映出寻找负担得起的住房日益困难。 The median age of first-time homebuyers has risen to 38 from 29 in 1981, reflecting the growing difficulty in finding affordable homes.
