On home prices, it's only getting worse. 15 years ago, the company I work at was buying 3 and 4 bedroom homes for around $200,000. Now, you won't touch one under $350,000 in the same area. Take that to a major metropolitan area, and it would be 4x that, easily.
I still do side work for a modular and manufactured home seller/setter. A single-wide 16x80 manufactured was around $70k when I worked with them 10 years ago. That same home now sells for $130k. That's the bottom of the barrel for buying a "new home" really. You can't put in a modular 3 bed for less than about $250k and that's not counting site prep, well/septic or sewer/water connection. That's just rural rates.
Housing is ****ing ugly for current generations. Multi-generational homes are damn near a must anymore.
