Redfin

We’re thrilled to announce the winner of The Great American Home Search. We joined the Murphy family in their new Denver, CO neighborhood to hear more about their journey and the life-changing impact of winning a $1,000,000 home.

Affordability is a major struggle for many Americans, but the good news is that things are slowly getting better. Affordability is improving in 37 of the 50 largest metros. And you don't need to earn as much this year to afford a typical home as you did last year. Read more at redfin.com/news/homebuyin…

The US housing affordability crisis is somehow still getting worse: 49% of Americans are now struggling to afford their regular rent or mortgage payments, up from 44% in May 2025, according to a Redfin survey. Generation Z is hit the hardest, with 67% struggling to afford housing. This is followed by 54% of Gen X, 53% of Millennials, and 36% of Baby Boomers. The most common sacrifices to afford housing are eating out less, skipping vacations, and delaying medical treatments. Gen Zers are going further, even selling belongings, taking side hustles, and moving back in with their parents just to keep up with payments. This comes as homebuyers now need to earn $111,000/year to afford the typical US home, ~$25,000 more than the median household income. Housing has never been so unaffordable in the US.

@Redfin customer service has been awful. Tried emailing and calling for days with no response. Website states “available 7 days a week” but I’ve yet to get a response.

@Redfin It still is not working.

A $1,000,000 home is hiding in our Big Game commercial. The Great American Home Search is officially live in the Redfin app. Ends 2/10.

@JacquelynRawli4 Thanks for being a good neighbor and flagging this! You should be all set to register now. You still have plenty of time to play!

@Redfin The app says my zip code isn't valid. I can't even enter the contest. Smh

America could use a neighbor just like you. #BeAGoodNeighbor

@aBeanBurritoh We'll see you tomorrow 😉

@Redfin #beagoodneighbor and give more clues!

@Osofreshbeats You'll have to wait for tomorrow 👀 See you then!

@Pennyb95 Hey Penny! Thanks for being a good neighbor and flagging this! You should be all set to register again. You still have plenty of time to play.

@Redfin I guess you hate the east coast… no one with a 0 as the first number in their zip code can enter… your coders screwed up and used an integer when doing the zip code so 0 can’t be a first number! Boooooooo!!!!!
