About this listen

In Episode 2 of the Pursuit of Property podcast, Max and Andrew take a deep dive into one of the biggest challenges facing Americans today: home affordability. They break down why it feels increasingly difficult to buy a home, especially for younger and first-time buyers, and how self-employment, interest rates, and low housing inventory all contribute to this growing gap.

The conversation explores generational shifts in homeownership, what has changed since the pandemic, and why the average first-time buyer is now nearly 40 years old. Max and Andrew offer practical guidance on navigating the current market, from being realistic about entry-level homes to understanding why waiting for a price crash may not be a winning strategy. They also discuss the importance of financial education and how homeownership remains one of the strongest wealth-building tools in America.
