If Housing is F*cked, Why Hasn’t It Crashed?

Get FREE end-to-end encrypted email at https://www.proton.me/gen The typical American home now costs $429,000, yet home sales are at their lowest level in 30 years, so why has housing not crashed? This video looks at Levitt & Sons, D.R. Horton, Lennar, the 2009 homebuilder tax break, the $2.4 billion paid to the 13 biggest builders, and the shrinking number of homebuilders, workers, loans, and available lots. It also covers Trump, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, the proposed 50-year mortgage, 401(k) down payments, institutional investors, and the fight over who gets to build what. From rising property taxes and insurance to FHA delinquencies, young adults living with their parents, falling birthrates, the $124 trillion wealth transfer, and Austin's housing boom and bust, this is the story behind expensive homes, unaffordable housing, and why prices still refuse to come down. ----------------------- 🗞️ Sign up to our free newsletter to get smarter about money and power in 5 minutes, every week: https://www.themoneytrails.com/ Listen to me on Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/7M00isK... ----------------------- Follow GEN on social media: 📸 Follow me on IG: @genkimura //   / genkimura   📱 Follow me on X: @genkimura_ // https://x.com/genkimura_ ----------------------- Chapters: 00:00 Intro 01:27 Why Nobody Wants to Build Houses (They Can’t) 10:47 Why Every Fix Ignores The Price (It’s on Purpose) 15:41 How The Loss Gets Passed Down (To You) ✉️ For sponsorship inquiries, please contact business@exploretheunfamiliar.com 📧 To inquire about collaborations or personal requests, send an email here: producer@exploretheunfamiliar.com Disclaimer: This video and channel is for informational and entertainment purposes only.
