Barry Ritholtz

Fascinating chart from Visual Capitalist showing the history of housing prices in the United States. I recall the 1990 Home Price recession — I was too broke to afford a condo, but I knew lots of recent grad school friends who took high-paying jobs and bought a place in the 1980s; more than a few were freaked out about falling prices.
