Didn’t do many millennials any good?? You're kidding??? Homebuyers 10yrs ago have seen real home prices nearly double in the interim.


I think MADFACTS is arguing that exceptionally few millennials were in a position to be able to buy a house in 2010-2014, and thus they missed out entirely on that 10 year’s worth of gains. He’s not denying that housing prices went up in that time, just that millennials didn’t have a chance to buy in BEFORE housing prices went up. Instead, they got trapped between rapidly increasing rents and student loans.

I didn't pick it up as an isolated millennial argument. But at a >50yr opportunity, about 1/3 of millennials should have been in range then. Regardless, a low rate purchase was still available for 7-10 years afterwards.
