I just don’t get how young people can afford to get into this market. I’m 30 with a good job and I can’t stomach paying $450+ for a 3/2 1800 SFQT starter home. It’s really sad and disheartening honestly

In a similar spot. What’s my other alternative? Throw money away in rent every month?
I am not married and don’t have kids. I may just get a 1br condo

Only way you're paying $450 is if your name is Jack Tripper and you have two roommates. Hell even your $450 times 3 ($1350) might be low considering 1800 sf in any decent area nowadays.

I'm in my mid thirties. I started renting at 18. I've never paid less than $600 and change in my entire life, and that was for a 1br/1ba. Where on earth did you come up with $450 for a 3br/2ba house?

Make that 1300 sq ft and $898000. That's what the house next door just sold for. Cash. If you aren't paying cash down here you aren't getting the contract.
