Part of it is that the Americans are older nowadays, so they have longer to to save up for a home. The median age in 1990 was 33 compared to 39 today.

If median age has increased and home ownership has remained relatively constant, doesn’t that imply that it _has_ become harder to buy (ie lower rate of first time buyers per year)?
