The visualization supports the post's message by demonstrating that despite relatively modest current mortgage rates, inflation-adjusted home prices remain at historic highs, making affordability the real issue rather than borrowing costs. > > "UPDATE: U.S. inflation-adjusted home prices remain near historic highs while mortgage rates sit well below their 1980s peak." ### Discussion #3 by @suzost > **Author:** [@suzost](https://x.com/suzost) > **Metrics:** 7 likes · 1 retweets · 1 comments · 306 views > **Posted:** 2026-09-30T18:44:35+00:00 > **Source Link:** [https://x.com/suzost/status/2105368224275763679](https://x.com/suzost/status/2105368224275763679) > > "We have about 97 car plants under construction!
