Not disagreeing with the general assessment however let's stick with facts... mortgage rates decreased during much of that period but were still above 6 through most of the 90s and even at the lowest, didn't get all the way down to 2.0%

I didn't say mortgage rates. I wasn't saying it was cheap to buy a house. I was saying that buying a house was a better investment compared to interest rates eg putting the money in the bank. I could have made that clearer.
