Ever wonder if inflation-adjusted housing was actually cheaper for previous generations? Turns out the numbers tell a story most of us suspected—our ancestors probably had it easier when buying their first place. Real estate purchasing power across generations isn't what it used to be, and the data backs this up.

NGL, housing prices are really getting more and more ridiculous. When my parents bought a house, it was a completely different concept from now...

Damn, seriously, buying a house was like a game for my dad’s generation, but now we have to sell our lives for it...

Wow, the seniors really enjoy buying houses. The current liquidity depth... never mind, I'll just go have a martini.
