[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Isn't it normal for mid 30s couple to buy 1.5+ houses? Seems like every young couple I know are doing it. Maybe you should be embassed for buying 3mn+ house, but for a 1.5-1.7m house, you should consider yourself pretty normal.[/quote]

+1. OP must have grown up poor, so he doesn’t realize they’re just normal now. I’m mid 30’s, bought a 3m house a couple of years ago, and I don’t feel embarrassed. There’s tons of other people more successful than us.[/quote]

Not normal at all. $1.5m house requires a top 2% HHI. Normal within your top 2% zip code maybe.[/quote]

That’s what I was thinking, too. I don’t know anybody who lives in a $1.5M house. I doubt there is one within 5 miles of us and we live in the DC region. This isn’t “common” at all, unless you live in a remarkably wealthy neighborhood. If so, good for you and I mean that sincerely. Just don’t believe it’s “normal.”[/quote]

Among highly educated circles and high six figures this is the norm. [/quote]

This is also the norm among people who bought their homes in the 80-90s in nyc and are now sitting on real estate worth millions. All of my friends live in 1.5 million dollar homes because their parents bought it when it was still ghetto lol

For example, Brownstones in crown heights we’re 200,000 and are now 1.7 million +. These are primarily black immigrants who worked gov or nursing jobs.
