About this episode
Young Americans are facing the toughest housing market in modern history. Home prices have surged, supply has evaporated, and mortgage rates have more than doubled since 2020, pushing the average first-time buyer age to 40 years old. Zaid breaks down the impossible math facing young buyers, why the U.S. doesn’t build enough homes, and why ideas like 50-year mortgages won’t actually fix affordability.
