Here's an interesting stat: The average buyer’s income would have had to rise 86% since January 2020, just to keep pace with the current median priced home. Wow. Some of the main culprits are price appreciation, interest rate increases, and a few more. Listen to or watch Sean & Tim talk about the current market constraints, possibilities for the future, and why Amazon is building and selling $30,000 homes.
