Millennials and Gen Z hear the same housing narratives over and over: corporations bought all the homes, rates are too high, student debt makes ownership impossible, the system is rigged.

But what if most of what you’ve been told is wrong?

In this special RetireCoast podcast episode, we compile 11 short myth-busting audio segments into one clear, fact-based guide to today’s housing market. Each myth is broken down with real data, historical context, and practical insight—cutting through social media noise and replacing frustration with understanding.

You’ll learn:

  • Why big corporations did not buy up all the homes
  • Why today’s mortgage rates are historically normal
  • Why CEO pay and corporate taxes aren’t driving housing prices
  • Why affordable housing still exists—just not everywhere
  • How millennials are already buying homes in large numbers
  • Why student debt is not a life sentence
  • When renting makes sense—and when it doesn’t
  • And why the system isn’t rigged if you understand how it works

This episode isn’t about politics or blame. It’s about reclaiming control, learning how the housing system actually functions, and making informed decisions about your future.

If you’ve ever felt discouraged, misled, or stuck when it comes to buying a home—this episode is for you.

🎧 Listen, learn, and become a housing myth buster.
