Over the last 20 years, home prices have averaged 4% annual growth.


Based on FRED data, Home prices have increased (on average, last 20 years) annually 5.1% where wages have increased annually 3.1% which is a 2% annual delta so 6.4x of your figure of 0.27%

From 2000 - 2020 home prices outpaced wages by 39%

I agree its nuts

Everyone is using different data sources and all of them are different. Lol

Nobody is showing their math except me, though.
