It is the worst time. Prices are hugely inflated because of the long bull run and weird period of low interest rates. Now interest rates are back up and there is political pressure to regulate the housing sector. Also worth remembering that the recent period of high prices, low availability, and ongoing price appreciation is freakish.

They are far better than the old units and cheaper while also being quite profitable for the makers. But you don’t actually care, you are just sniping for click bait. Whatever.
