This chapter explores the factors that can improve housing affordability, including falling mortgage rates, falling home prices, and increased housing supply. It also discusses the high demand for housing due to factors like a growing millennial cohort and remote work, as well as the lock-in effect and the potential impact of the aging population on the real estate market.
