Celebrating Long-Term Housing Trends

The discussion emphasizes the significance of understanding housing cycles over extended periods, specifically in the context of the previous few decades. Historical trends dating back to the 1970s are explored, with a focus on how interest rates influenced home prices during times of economic turmoil. For instance, despite interest rates soaring to 18% in the 1980s, home prices remained steady due to high inflation. The conversation addresses past government interventions that led to real estate booms and busts, highlighting a consistent pattern where regulatory changes can dramatically impact market conditions.
