Uhhh… I managed to save up a hefty down payment and bought my house in 2009.
It has since then over doubled in value.
So yeah, “sane choice = buying a home while you are young” is my vote.
… buuuuut, today you’d have to be nuts to buy a home.
Not sure where that leaves the young people today, but there is no way (in my area at least) that home values will keep on climbing.
They plateaued and I don’t see any further appreciation.
On the street.
In a house with a ton of roommates or with their parents is the other answer.
