We did it LA. We’re officially the least accessible housing market in America.
New data just dropped showing LA has taken the top spot. Typical home value is sitting around $936k while the median income is $82k. At that ratio, it would take the “typical” household over 37 years just to save a down payment. Thirty. Seven. Years.
At this point it honestly feels like the only realistic path for most of Gen Z (and probably the generation after them) is inheriting a house, not buying one. The math just doesn’t pencil out anymore and it’s only getting worse.
