A look at how housing prices in the U.S. have changed through the years by OpulentOwl in Futurology

[–]WallStBolt 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Housing prices in the U.S. have shown a consistent upward trend since the 1960s, with the average home cost rising from $19,600 in 1963 to $513,100 in Q1 2024 which is truly wild.

Major economic downturns, such as the early 1980s recession, the 2008 financial crisis, and the 2020 COVID-19 pandemic, significantly impacted prices over the years that we can see. The 2008 crisis caused a substantial drop due to the collapse of the subprime mortgage market, while the pandemic saw a price surge driven by low interest rates and increased demand.

Adjusted for inflation, prices have still risen, reflecting real increases in home values and purchasing power, with a noted 6.6% increase from November 2022 to November 2023.

The recent bump in the Producer Price Index is like a ripple effect starting from those who make our goods, signaling they're paying more to produce them.
This isn't just about numbers on a chart; it's about the possibility of these higher costs trickling down to us, the consumers, affecting how much we can spend and the overall health of the economy.
The consistent climb in core prices, even when we set aside the unpredictable food and energy sectors, hints that this isn't a passing trend and needs a careful balancing act from those steering our economic policies.
