Redfin chief economist Daryl Fairweather: "It seems like the only way to kind of get your foot in the door to the housing market is to have some help"

You’re getting downvoted, but this is legitimately part of the issue. There is vastly less inventory of starter homes to buy, because home builders have been focused on building bigger and bigger (more lucrative) houses to sell at the upper end of the market.

Meanwhile apartment buildings (of the non luxury variety) are being built far less frequently.

Seriously. I never see starter homes made anymore. When it comes to apartments they are always marketed as “luxury”.
