Lol, I had to do the same in 2008. Nothing's changed. Except it's only gotten more expensive
only 40%, I guess this isnt tracking people who have no show jobs for their family business
Nothing is going to fundamentally change so long as housing supply drastically falls short of the demand. There's no way to escape the core issue that we don't have enough housing units in the places people want to live, and so the units that are available are going to go to the wealthiest people seeking them.
Lmfaooooo Bruhhhh I'm under 30 and I'm living with my parent rather than getting help moving out.
Obama (or Illinois?) gave me 10k down payment in 2009 and I got a tiny townhome at 23 right after I got a job outta college. I stayed in it for 10 years and traded it in for a bigger house like a crab after I got married.
I was not money conscious at the time but my dad pretty much forced me to get a house if I had the means. I'm glad he did.
So I guess I was also gifted my down payment from my parents and other tax payers parents.
