this is fucking insane. boomers really are sociopaths--still striving and buying bigger and bigger houses as the entire world collapses around them and no one younger than 45 can afford to buy anything. obviously totally unsustainable and late-empire shit |

Date: July 19th, 2025 8:42 PM Author: Nazca Redlines So in 1981, the median homebuyer was born in 1950. 44 years later, in 2025, the median homebuyer was born in 1978. The median birth year only advanced 17 years over a 44 year period. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5752447&forum_id=2...id.#49115257) |

Date: July 19th, 2025 9:01 PM Author: msj i’m sure that’s part of it, but there are also a lot of 55+mos downsizing these days, which wasn’t a thing in 1981 for lots of reasons. also, you have to assume most of these oldmos are simultaneously vacating a residence, thus leaving the supply in the same position.

Date: July 19th, 2025 9:05 PM Author: Paralegal Muhammad This housing market/country is evil. It’s not that there’s a problem it’s that everyone just shrugs. Like there’s other ways to look at things other than the laissez faire capitalism / lib government REGULATION dichotomy. Like don’t respond to problems with your gay “solutions.” Just make the stupid country suck less and things like this will sort themselves out imo.

Date: July 19th, 2025 10:55 PM Author: ........,,,,,,......,.,.,.,,,,,,,,,, It's crazy that in my town it costs literally TRIPLE to buy a house compared to 5 years ago when you factor in interest rates.
So basically it went from like a police officer married to a teacher could probably buy a house if they were smart with money, to now you would probably struggle to buy on a big law associate salary. |
