The median home price graphic and statistic is pretty astonishing. This site:

https://dqydj.com/historical-home-prices/

has the same data in a format where you can adjust the time period of the graph; Late 2019 to May 2022 looks like the steepest curve in the data (goes back to 2/1953) by a long shot. Despite being a home owner (or maybe because of it - I haven't thought about this stuff in a long time) I'm a philistine on the topic but charts and statistics like this make it pretty clear why so many people have essentially given up on buying a home.
