In this commentary, the speaker highlights that homes have become larger and more expensive while wages remain stagnant and the cost of living and inflation stay high. Consequently, younger buyers—specifically younger millennials and Generation Z (Zoomers)—face a growing affordability challenge compared to the baby‑boom generation. The speaker argues that the core issue is not the prevailing interest‑rate narrative often promoted by the media, but rather a generational mismatch: differing needs, preferences, and financial realities across age cohorts shape the housing market dynamics.
