The American housing market is experiencing a significant divide, often referred to as a 'K-shaped' market. While high-earning buyers and sellers continue to find ample options and maintain leverage, the situation is starkly different for the rest of the population.

This trend highlights the growing economic disparity in the country and raises concerns about housing accessibility for lower-income families.
