I calculated the monthly payment inflation adjusted using 30-year interest rate and it looks lower than 2008.

Chart: https://fred.stlouisfed.org/graph/?g=GMT0

Formula used: https://www.wallstreetmojo.com/mortgage-formula/

Fred formula:

a = Median Sales Price of Houses Sold for the United States (MSPUS)

b = Consumer Price Index for All Urban Consumers: All Items in U.S. City Average (CPIAUCSL)

c = 30-Year Fixed Rate Mortgage Average in the United States (MORTGAGE30US)

a/b * (c/100/12) * (1+c/100/12)^(30 * 12) / ( (1+c/100/12)^(30 * 12) - 1)

PS: Similar could be said for everything (e.g. stocks). Buying an overvalued asset using debt might be cheaper than before.
