The true cost of cheap oil: Barrel price hits 6-year low (part 1)

Description

At $45 a barrel, world oil prices are now nearing a six-year low. Food prices have actually dropped here in Europe, whilst airlines are slashing ticket prices.

Markets Insider reports the median price for a single-family home rose 12%, mainly fueled by record-low mortgage interest rates. But there's a downside: Not every American is benefitting from the rally. In fact, Q3 saw the proportion of first-time homebuyers drop to just 31%. That's the lowest share in over 30 years. As home prices significantly outpace median family income growth, more Americans have been pushed out of the housing market and have had to delay homeownership.
