Hourly wage needed to realistically buy a home:


• 1975: ~$4/hr
• 1995: ~$12/hr
• 2005: ~$17/hr
• 2015: ~$25/hr
• 2022: ~$38/hr
• 2026: Over $60/hr
The price of a home has climbed much faster than paychecks.
For millions of Millennials and Gen Z, homeownership didn’t disappear because they stopped working hard it drifted further out of reach as the purchasing power of wages kept shrinking.
