UNC x Doorify Quarterly Roundtable Discussion: The Real Barriers to Affordability in Today’s Market


Episode 87


Home prices aren’t falling, but affordability is. Despite rising inventory, the Triangle market remains tight and the pressure on homebuyers keeps climbing.

For this quarter’s roundtable, I brought together some of the sharpest minds from UNC Kenan-Flagler to unpack what’s going on beneath the surface of our local housing market. Jacob Sagi, Roberto Quercia, Jim Spaeth, and Eric Maribojoc joined me, along with board members John Wood and Matty Brown, to dig into the numbers and the bigger story. 

From aging buyers and shrinking school enrollments to the real impact of land use and infrastructure gaps, we covered the challenges no one’s really solved yet. We also looked at what markets like Houston are doing differently and what North Carolina might want to pay attention to. 

Listen in to hear what the data’s telling us and what we might actually do about it.

Specifically, this episode highlights the following themes: 

  • How housing affordability has changed across the Triangle since 2020
  • The shrinking school-aged population and what it signals
  • Why zoning reform and infrastructure investment are key to long-term solutions
