    New home construction in the US was massively reduced back in the 2008 GFC and has remained depressed ever since. It’s hyperbolic to say nobody is building, but there’s been fewer new homes being added for awhile now and that’s one of the central problems in the current housing affordability crisis.

        Yes. Nobody is building starter homes. Even the 50+ communities going up have 4 bedrooms and 2200 sq ft.
