Brilliant chart! Thanks!

I’ve looked at similar long term trends and wondered if we’re hitting a new “step” as well. I don’t think so, but… Its a good question.

In the post WWII environment the US emerged as a world power and it makes sense that our credit markets boomed. And after the fall of the Soviet Union some speculated that we would have a similar ‘post war’ boom.

But its still a good question.

I think you might be onto something, but I am having trouble understanding this…

ratio = price / rent

What numbers specifically do you use for the graph? Median prices? Annualized median rents?
How come your ratio is below 1?
