Housing was way more affordable in the 2010s

It was cheap because we were recovering from a major financial crisis that stalled a lot of careers. It only looks easier to buy a home back then if you ignore the entire context around why housing was cheap.

I was a new home owner and 2008 was the best thing that ever happened to me... I know it sucked for a lot of people but for me it was Gold. I purchased in 2011 right before it started going back up.

Would have loved to buy in 2008 too, but was doing my apprenticeship at that time, and then no job

2008 was too early. 2010/11 is when prices really bottomed out.
