The economy is hanging tough in part because of the graceful adjustment of asset prices to Fed tightening. While overvalued stock, bond and real estate markets have bent, they have not broken. Americans remain wealthier than before the pandemic, and key to why they keep spending.

A record ~40% of all US homes currently don't have mortgages.
At first, this seems like great news, but it really just emphasizes how unaffordable this market is.
Currently, a record ~35% of housing market transactions are all cash purchases.

We have an affordability crisis.
