After hitting a record 482,000 new households in 2024, the PBO projects a sharp decline in 2025 and 2026 due to recent federal policies curbing immigration. Household formation is expected to remain well below the historical average of 176,000 per year until 2030.On the construction side, the PBO expects a short-term boost, with completions averaging 256,000 units annually over the next three years. But beyond that, housing starts are forecast to fall back to historical norms, with about 2.5 million new units delivered ...
