Here’s new construction for under $250k… one of those smaller homes I was told builders didn’t make anymore. Still bigger than the house my grandmother raised 6 kids in though.
Now tell me why it’s unacceptable trash for a 25-year old.

It's not unacceptable. Standard tract home with a pre-selected plan. That's basically the only potential option. I think those scale with the metro area, however.
Make sure the HOA prohibits all forms of rentals or be sure to get the frick out of there before it turns into a shithole.

Which pretty much won’t be possible because selling before that neighborhood becomes a shithole means transaction costs will eat up your equity gains(if any) and probably a portion of the initial equity you put in at purchase.
Selling one of those less than 5 years later probably loses you money.
Or you could rent it out and contribute to the neighborhood going to shite.

Stop buying a new cell phone every 6 months. The next time you buy a cellphone on the next plan or whatever, pay it off instead of trading it in 6 months later and adding an extra $1 ,000 into the cost of the $1,500 phone you are buying.
There it is!!!!!

We probably have different definitions of good paying
Good jobs = wages cover cost of living and allows for savings. Not sure how else you would define it.

You should ignore the Republicans saying that you should put the work in, and instead, do what the Dems say to do, eat bugs and live in one of these:

The first neighborhood I could afford to buy in would be labeled a “shite hole” by many of you. Somehow I lived to tell about it and now I live somewhere nicer. This is not a new concept despite the attempts here to spin it as one.

I have a 600k house, but only because it was worth 275k when I purchased it 9 years ago.
God Bless everyone in the market for a home, I mean it.

Try living during the Carter years.
Quick question. Does it take more years earning the median salary to earn the value of the median home now or during the Carter admin?
Thanks!

FWIW from ChatGPT -
Median price psf in 1979 - $44
Median price psf currently - $183
Median income in 1979 - $17,500
Median income in 2024 - $80,200
80.2/17.5*44 = $201 psf versus current price psf of $183
Not that I think the market today is something we haven't seen before, but I would have guessed today's price psf would have been marginally higher than it was at the end of Carter.

That’s assuming your spouse makes more than the cost of daycare
Common excuse for women to get to stay home. They find the daycare all their friends swear by, regardless of cost. There are cheaper options, the women just don't want them.

Is to cancel my Netflix subscription and stop buying lattes and avocado toast?
Then I will be able to afford a house?

Cheaper options like what? Though, I generally agree with you. If your spouse is a working professional, daycare is worth it in the long run anyway if it prevents her from spending 5 years at home, allowing her to grow in her career and make more money down the line.

My husband and I lived on ramen noodles and iced tea until our student loans were paid off. Our first home wasn’t $750k. We bought small, flipped and upgraded a few times.
Eat the ramen and shut up about it.
