    The 90s followed the extremely high interest rates, which were why housing was flat. People couldn’t easily buy in, so demand was reduced.

    • But that just further corroborates the point: when housing was at its most affordable it was not considered a good investment.

      It’s also important to note that housing remained flat even when interest rates went down, partially because of a healthy stock of non-market and market housing.
