Charles Payne, a well-known host of the financial news program Making Money, expressed his concerns about the U.S. housing market during an interview on Fox & Friends. In his recent commentary, Payne described the current real estate market as the most unaffordable in history, a provocative statement that has sparked debate among economists and real estate professionals. He attributed the growing affordability crisis to a combination of rising home prices, historically low inventory levels, and the lingering effects of the pandemic on the housing supply chain.
