The cost of housing today is lower than that during the last recession.

Is 'that' needed?

Many thanks.

@tanguatlay,
Yes, but you would probably more likely hear:

The cost of housing today is lower than that of the last recession.

@sullyfish6,
You would be more likely to hear "in the last recession", than "of the last recession".
