Affordability started recovering slightly since 2023, when it reached historical lows. For home ownership, we observed improved affordability, while for renters we saw stabilization over the last two years.

The deal follows a period of rapid expansion for Lower, including the launch of a West Coast division in December led by Gino Fronti as the company continues to invest in geographic growth and talent across the country. The company also announced an acquisition of real estate portal Movoto from parent company OJO Labs in May 2025 and software company Neat Labs at the tail end of 2024.
