RV Capital 1H22 Letter to Co-Investors in Business Owner

This comes at a time where the U.S. housing market sees mortgage rates doubling from this time last year (5.5% up from 2.8%), and according to Zillow, the average house price in America is up 20.7% on last year at $350,000.
A spokesperson from RubyHome commented on the findings:
“With the rate of inflation skyrocketing in recent years, the value of a house has increased massively, meaning homeowners and sellers are in a prime position to reap the benefits, especially with any money left over from selling a property being able to help towards the growing costs of everyday items. With Zillow's report that the average house price in America has risen 20.7% from last year, it is clear to see why Americans are tempted to sell at this time.
However, with affordable housing becoming increasingly challenging to come across throughout America, it will be interesting to see if these figures translate into actual sales and what this may mean for the housing market.”
