POWC # 795- Home Prices Then vs. Now: Why Housing Feels So Expensive

Today, Todd dives into one of the biggest questions in housing today: Why do home prices seem so much higher now compared to the 1970s, and is buying still worth it compared to renting? Todd breaks down how inflation, wages, interest rates, and lifestyle changes all play into the dramatic shift in home values. You might be surprised to learn that it’s not just the sticker price that’s changed, but also how we finance, use, and think about housing. He’ll also walk through the real numbers—what homes actually cost back then versus today, and how monthly mortgage payments stack up against current rent prices. Whether you’re a first-time buyer, a renter, or a real estate investor, this episode will help you make sense of the market and what smart financial decisions look like right now.
