Prices will never return down. New normal. Too many at the “new” values.
Multifamily living booming.
People aren’t moving so only supply is really new homes built.

I see at least one person doesn’t understand supply and demand.

Glad I built when I did. I told a lot of people on the Home board to stop waiting for lumber to go down. I got a lot of downvotes. Now they can't build at all. I'm at 2.8 and I'm never leaving.

When I bought my first house in 1998, pretty sure the interest rate was around 7%...I don't recall complaining about it at the time...

There's a house that came up for sale in a neighborhood I've been wanting to move to for a few years but man we refinanced at 2.5% and a 15 year note. Hard to let go of that.

What was the sales price?
Posted on 9/8/23 at 1:28 pm to Chicken
The average student loan debt in 1998 was around $14,000 and the average home price was around $150,000. Now? Average student loan debt is much higher and the average US home is almost $450,000. It's a much different ballgame now.

It was about 50% of what it is now, if Scruffy is reading the data right.
Looks like home prices increased 74% from 2010 to 2022.
Give me the prices you paid and I’ll be happy with my 7%.

Sure, but even kids who are making the right decisions are still in a shite situation. I bought my house 6 years ago. If I was 6 years younger, looking to buy the same house that I'm in now and had made all of the same life choices that I made back then (no student loans, good degrees, etc...), I would be stuck looking at a mortgage that is $1450 more than I currently pay.
I agree it's a tougher time than when I bought my house; rent is eating up a lot of income that could be saved. I think it is still doable, but priorities vary from person to person. I just disagree with the notion that new grads should be able to buy a house. That's not realistic.

What was the price per square foot?
How far did your dollar go?
So much more to consider rather than "I bought a house 30 years ago at similar rates, what's the matter"

Average home price has far outpaced wage growth since then
I posted this earlier but in case you missed it this will help put it into perspective
Per Black Knight: It would take some combination of up to a 28% decline in home prices, a more than 4% reduction in 30-year mortgage rates, or up to a 60% growth in median household incomes to bring home affordability back to its 25-year average.

Way tf less than housing prices
The respective increases are not even remotely close.
