Apples and oranges.

There are multiple factors that you omit here. What about the fact that 100k in the 90's bought you substantially more house than today? I grew up in a 2000 sq ft home in a neighborhood in the 90's that my parents paid around 70k for. That same street has houses on the market today in the 300k's.

Just looked up the house I grew up in on Zillow. My mom paid about $37K for the house in 1996 and it is valued at $126K today and looks exactly like we left it 20 years ago.

But sure things are EXACTLY the same today as they were back in the day.

ETA: $37K in 1997 is about $72K today.
