Do you regret?
I genuinely have my ex to thank for $200k in home equity in just a few years.
Ooooof
Yes. But I couldn’t afford it then, either. It constantly feels out of reach. Hopefully in the next year or two.
Same
You work at Google . You will be fine
I bought a few years ago. No regrets :) The saying goes: don’t wait to buy a house, buy a house then wait.
First time hearing about this saying
Wait for what after buying the house?
No ragrets.
I am glad we didn't buy a house 3 years back. We are in VHCOL area and the down payment would have drained our savings. Amid layoffs and financial uncertainty, having ample savings and no large mortgage payments are a blessing. Knowing myself, I would have been super anxious if we had bought it. My wife also feels the same.
Agreed. The freedom that renting gives is unparalleled for mobility. I got to explore living in different cities and increased my investments drastically from the compounding effect.
No regrets, my stock investments have grown a lot more since then compared to real estate.
You have 5:1 lever in stock?
This! Anyone who bought MSFT, NVDA, META will be 10x higher than home. And every rent calculator says better to rent in VHCOL for the foreseeable future
Ask this question next year when the most of these homeowners will be without work and unable to pay their loans. Fire sale
Probably not true for bay area.
Cope harder bud.
Am so happy we stretched and bought a dream home in the best location with low commute. It was the best decision of my life
That’s amazing. Enjoy!!
The right time to buy a house is when one feels ready!
