Population shifts reshaping housing markets. Out of the 20 largest metro areas with significant non-citizen populations, 14 experienced year-over-year home price declines last December. Interestingly, the handful of metros that bucked the trend—posting modest price gains—tend to be places with more lenient immigration policies. The data suggests straightforward economics at play: housing availability and affordability move with demographic flows. Whether this pattern continues depends on policy direction and how quickly labor market dynamics adjust. Worth tracking for anyone monitoring real estate as a macro indicator.

Isn't this logic backwards? Do housing prices actually fall in places with more immigrants? Need to take a closer look at the data quality...

Housing prices are so closely linked to population movement; policies really determine everything.

Cities with relaxed immigration policies see housing prices rise? That logic seems a bit counterintuitive. Can supply really keep up with demand?
