We were in the process of recovering from the Arab oil embargo and much higher gas prices than people had been used to, price controls under Jimmy Carter to control the 'stagflation', high unemployment and high inflation.

The Fed raised interest rates to very high levels to try and bring inflation under control & caused a recession. Interest rates on home loans were very high, I think they climbed to over 13% at one point.
