Realtor.com reports 73.2% spike in monthly payments for moving

NWSA

Realtor.com finds typical U.S. mortgage holders would face a 73.2% increase in monthly payments—from $1,291 to $2,236—if purchasing today, underscoring a strong homeowner lock-in effect.
More affordable markets see smaller penalties (e.g., Pittsburgh at 32.5%; Baltimore at 34.0%), though moving costs remain significant.
High-priced metros exhibit the largest jumps, with San Jose at 179.6% and Los Angeles at 176.4% increases in estimated payments.
The lock-in effect is dampening housing supply and mobility, suggesting relief will require lower mortgage rates, stronger income growth, or relocation strategies.
