… below levels of 20 years ago, after adjusting for inflation.”
Now there’s an attention getter. But it’s the first thing I’ve read this month from a credible FA post that I completely agree with.
Unless you got a great deal in a seriously undervalued market more than 10 years ago and never took out any equity, you are destined to be upside down before U.S. real estate prices level.
