November 2021 — peak mania for both:
🏠 Median new build home: ~$450,000 (near its peak, which came a few months later in Oct 2022)
₿ Bitcoin: ~$69,000 (ATH hit November 10, 2021)
Today (February 2026):
🏠 Median new build home: $392,000 → down ~13%
₿ Bitcoin: ~$69,000
ok bitcoin did go down to $16,000 in 2022...
but it illustrates Jeff Walton's point. All those people who thought they were building "equity" instead of paying rent from then until now....
...got royally swindled! by property taxes, mortgage insurance and the interest payments
