Based on FRED data, Home prices have increased (on average, last 20 years) annually 5.1%
Everyone is using different data sources and all of them are different. Lol
Nobody is showing their math except me, though.
its really quite simple
New home 2020 = $329,000
New home 2000 = $163,200
FRED
($329,000 - $163,200) / $163,200 = +102%
102% / 20 years = 5.1% annual growth

No, 5.1% annual growth is... +170%.
For +102%, it's just ~ 3.6%
1.036^20 = ˜ 2.03 (103%)
