Bay Area housing market squeezes first-time buyers as luxury sales boom
Original: Bay Area housing market squeezes first-time buyers while luxury homes boom
The Bay Area housing market is splitting in two, with first-time buyers increasingly priced out even as the luxury segment booms. High mortgage rates, elevated prices and limited inventory are squeezing entry-level purchasers, while wealthier buyers continue to drive sales at the top end of the market, widening the gap between the two segments.
Why now: Housing affordability is a persistent concern in one of America's most expensive regions, and a market split between booming luxury sales and squeezed first-time buyers is striking to residents.
