1) saw a few posts on why home ownership < renting today. I get the flexibility and not having maintenance benefits. However none of the articles talked about rent to mtg spreads (thx cheap debt). For example, the 2 bedroom apartments in the same master planned dev as me rent for
Would you say that 10 and 20 years ago buying, relative to renting, was more or less affordable than it is today? Buy to rent ratios were lower then but interest rates were higher. I wonder If society’s expectations changed or it was just the economics of the mortgage payment.

I think it’s a combination of societal changes and other affordability issues. It’s not just the economics of the mortgage payment - look at how rates have fallen over the last 4 decades while homeownership rose, then fell, and now is rising again.pic.twitter.com/iEYh72s3tY

Good point. Regulatory standards and changing demographics are also big.
