"The median income for the cohort aged 25-34 has declined by 7% from 1976 to 2019. Let that sink in - the typical GenY&Z earns less than their parents did when they were the same age. And housing was affordable back then so the real decline in living standards is much steeper."

1st time home buyers are a minority of purchasers. They compete with buyers who already own in the market. Emboldened by the equity they’ve gained from surging home values, existing homeowners bid up the price to levels that are disconnected from earnings paid by local jobs.
