In the period from 1929 to 1947, the average piece of real estate in this country lost 96% of its 1929 value. That's how big the bubble was in the Twenties.

When the war ended, veterans coming home were able to buy in at the bottom.

In the early 50s my folks bought their first BRAND NEW home on just one income.

Try that in todays America.
