Episode notes
Real Home Price Declines Worse
- Nominal home price declines underestimate real depreciation due to inflation.
- A 5% nominal drop equates to over 10% loss in purchasing power with 5% inflation.
Supply vs Demand Dynamics
- Rising supply alone can pressure home prices downward if demand remains low.
- Low home price growth despite tight supply signals sharply reduced demand.

- Median list price increases can be misleading if fewer lower-end homes sell.
- Price per square foot reveals true home value trends better than median list price.
