Other people having a home doesn't make yours worth less. It just means less people to buy your home.
... because they get a place to call their own and live, like you did.
Every day I'm glad I bought a house while the year still began with a 1. I literally couldn't afford this place now if I tried. And it's all bullshit pretend value.
Lower demand = lower price. Literally how economics works.
This is creating a landed aristocracy. You own your house so you have the leverage to buy another, either by selling the current one or mortgaging it.
It's still possible to buy a house from earned income, it's just 5x less likely than it was in the 80s, and it's only getting harder. The time is coming when there will be an insurmountable divide between those who own land and those who don't.
