In 2015, the value of all homes across the U.S. increased $1.1 trillion, growing 4.1 percent over the past year. At year end, the entire housing stock is expected to be valued at $28.5 trillion - $10 trillion more than 2015's third quarter U.S. gross domestic product.
The most valuable market going into 2016 is the Los Angeles metro, with a total value of $2.4 trillion. California as a whole accounts for almost a quarter of the country's cumulative home value, which isn't surprising considering it's home to high-valued markets like Los Angeles, San Francisco, and San Jose.
Meanwhile, renters spent $535 billion on housing in 2015 - nearly as much as the total budget of the Department of Defense ($575 billion). That's almost $20 billion more than in 2014, due to 1.8 million new renter households and rental prices rising at record pace.
Renters in the New York/Northern New Jersey market spent the most on rent in 2015 - about $56 billion.
