[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Consider starter homes when people got married in their 20s when we think about starter homes.  Now people get married and have ykids at 40... yes, they want a nicer place.  [/quote]

I do have friends that climbed the property ladder. They are college sweethearts that married in their mid twenties. They also started their careers out of college.

DH and I married in our early thirties. Our careers were just getting started because we each spent our twenties trying out careers that ended up being dead ends/bad fits and then going to grad school, where we met. We didn't have a down payment until our late thirties after we had a kid. It was during the pandemic so we each wanted an office and wanted to have a workout space. With a kid and two full time jobs, we knew we didn't have bandwidth for a fixer upper.

Plus, let's not forget that the "starter homes" of yesteryear are now 70+ year old homes, often with deferred maintenance issues, and aren't especially cheap either.[/quote]

Nothing wrong with this, as long as you are prepared to pay accordingly. You don’t get a big home at a starter home price just because you are older first time buyers. [/quote]

Okay? This is a market. As a seller, you need to recognize not everybody wants what you are selling, so stop whining about Gen Z and millennials because we don't want your 70+ year old home that was unfortunately not built to last.[/quote]
