I consider myself immensely lucky. Sometimes it feels like my entire life has been nothing but a continuous streak of good luck - almost to the point of me foolishly counting on it happening again. I can’t explain it, but I’m thankful, and I’m under no illusion that any of it is my own making. Even the fact of having had a good childhood and parents who are still together at +65 years old is so valuable and increasingly rare nowadays.
Fair. We were looking at probably around the same time and then decided to buy a prebuild to lock the price in. By the time it was built a year and a half later it had gone up by about a 1/3rd.
I bought mine when I was 27. Not a big house but house nevertheless. Didn’t want to live in an apartment anymore. Anything is better than that.
How much money did your parents give for the down payment?
None but they backed the loan.
I have perfect credit history and never missed a single payment. Nobody in my family would even co-sign for a car. Consider yourself very lucky

I saved up 10k in 6 months towards a house. Saw house prices go up 50k during that same time. Said fuck it and started renting
