Nevertheless, there are vital variations. First, lending has been moderately stable through the present growth, whereas within the mid-00s, underwriting requirements had been virtually non-existent (“fog a mirror, get a loan”). And demographics are far more favorable right this moment than within the mid-00s.

3. Inflation picked up
4. The Fed raised charges to convey down inflation.
5. Home funds elevated sharply
