About this episode
Ken McElroy and Danille McElroy discuss the dramatic shift in the American housing market between 2019 and 2024, highlighting the significant increase in home prices and interest rates that have effectively doubled the cost of homeownership. The slow growth in wages have put further pressure on the problem. The implications of these changes for first-time homebuyers, the middle class, and the broader societal impacts, including the trend towards a nation of renters and the future of the American dream.
