[quote=Anonymous]People think that to feel better about their own life decisions, OP. They wanted to live in a house and so they think everyone should want what they want. I am in my 40s and live in a two-bedroom condo with my husband. I don't have kids and so don't need more space. I often think that I should want a to buy a house, because That's What Adults Do. But when I think more about why, it comes more down to social norms than my lifestyle preferences. I suppose I am already defying social norms by not having kids, so might as well continue with my housing! One thing that is a real difference between condo vs. house is appreciation. If I spent the same on a house when I bought my condo in 2013, it would be worth a lot more, while my condo has barely appreciated. But that is just once piece of it, and obviously the calculus is different now with current interest rates. [/quote]
