North America Residential Real Estate Market is Expected to grow at a robust CAGR of 6.17% through 2030F

The North America Residential Real Estate Market is expected to be led by the United States, driven by strong demand, urbanization, and favorable financing conditions, during the forecast period 2026-2030F.


According to TechSci Research report, “North America Residential Real Estate Market – By Country, Competition, Forecast & Opportunities, 2020-2030F, The North America Residential Real Estate Market was valued at USD 834.90 Billion in 2024 and is expected to reach USD 1195.66 Billion by 2030 with a CAGR of 6.17% during the forecast period.

The expansion of suburban and exurban areas in response to affordability challenges and changing lifestyle preferences has become a defining driver of growth in the North America residential real estate market. As urban centers become increasingly congested and housing prices escalate beyond the reach of middle-income families, more individuals are relocating to suburban and exurban areas where land is more available, prices are relatively lower, and quality of life is perceived to be higher. This outward migration is enabled by improved transportation infrastructure, increased availability of telecommuting jobs, and the desire for larger living spaces and outdoor amenities. The result is a wave of residential development in communities that were previously considered peripheral or rural. These developments are often planned with integrated amenities such as schools, parks, and commercial zones, making them self-sufficient and attractive to new residents. Local governments are increasingly investing in infrastructure upgrades to support this suburban sprawl, including road expansions, broadband internet access, and public transportation links.

The environmental appeal of suburban living—with proximity to natural spaces and lower population density—has been heightened post-pandemic, leading to persistent demand for new housing construction in these regions. Builders are responding by initiating large-scale residential projects, particularly in southern and western regions of the United States, parts of Alberta and British Columbia in Canada, and northern states of Mexico. These regions are experiencing population inflows that are directly tied to cost-of-living considerations and lifestyle upgrades, which are significantly boosting the volume of home purchases and rental leases. As a result, suburban and exurban development continues to reshape the geographical landscape of the North America residential real estate market and contribute to its ongoing expansion.

Sustainability has emerged as a defining trend in the North America residential real estate market, with growing consumer preference for energy-efficient and environmentally conscious housing. Heightened awareness of climate change, coupled with rising energy costs, has increased demand for properties that reduce environmental impact and operating expenses. Homebuyers and renters are actively seeking features such as solar panels, energy-efficient insulation, smart thermostats, and water-saving plumbing systems. Builders and developers are responding by incorporating green building materials and technologies into both new construction and renovation projects, aligning with evolving building codes and certification standards like Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. In addition, several municipalities across the United States and Canada are introducing incentives for developers and homeowners to adopt sustainable practices, such as tax credits, expedited permitting, and utility rebates.

Based on Business, Rental segment is the fastest-growing business segment in the North America Residential Real Estate Market, driven by rising property prices, increasing mortgage rates, and shifting consumer preferences. As housing affordability becomes a major concern, many individuals and families are choosing to rent rather than buy homes, particularly in high-demand urban areas. The demand for rental properties is particularly strong among millennials, who are entering the housing market later in life due to financial constraints, and among younger generations seeking flexibility and mobility.

The growth of build-to-rent developments has contributed significantly to the expansion of this segment, as developers are increasingly focusing on purpose-built rental communities to meet the growing demand. The popularity of short-term rentals, such as those offered through platforms like Airbnb, has provided a new dimension to the rental market, catering to both investors and tenants seeking flexible, short-term housing solutions. The rental segment is expected to continue expanding as rising home prices and mortgage rates make homeownership less accessible for a large portion of the population, further driving the demand for rental properties across North America.

Based on country, ​Mexico is rapidly emerging as the fastest-growing country in the North America Residential Real Estate Market, driven by a combination of strong domestic demand, foreign investment, and economic stability. The country’s growing middle class, along with increased urbanization, is fueling the demand for both affordable and luxury housing, particularly in cities like Mexico City, Monterrey, and Guadalajara.

The surge in international interest, especially from U.S. investors looking for second homes or rental properties, has contributed to the market’s expansion. Mexico’s proximity to the United States, coupled with its attractive real estate prices compared to other North American countries, has made it a desirable destination for both residential and investment properties. Government initiatives and policies that support homeownership, along with the increasing availability of mortgage financing, are further propelling the growth of the residential real estate sector in Mexico, making it a key player in the regional market.
