If houses were so "cheap", why is the home ownership rate higher today? Why wouldn't everybody just buy one of those "cheap" houses?

trust me, when i bought my first house in '97 the prices were 5 times lower than today. my salary was 75% of what I'm making today. so even late boomers (which I am) had their chance.
