People are buying them though. I think the problem is people think they’re richer than they are and don’t want to live in the places their income and wealth suggest they should. Previous generations handled this better.

People are very opposed to the idea that they can’t buy a house where they grew up, or in an area they feel is comparable. Which I suppose I can understand.

But to your point — things change, you aren’t rich enough, it sucks, get over it.

But so much of the new age groups is sold the dream HARD by social media ala Instagram. Aspirationalism is far worse than it was with previous generations.

Oh man yes they are. Buying a house right now is a complete circus and lottery. Competition is insane and everything sells in two weeks max.

That is what they are saying though - people are actually buying the assets? All anecdotes I have seen recently say that houses go off market very quickly.

They may be going off the the market very quickly now. That’s exactly how asset inflation works. People living in their homes that are suddenly worth millions of dollars aren't going to sell their homes now necessarily. When they do get around to selling it the market might not be the same.
