[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think OP was asking for more current buyers and ages. You really can't get a decent house in DC proper now for under $750k it seems - and even that's a very small townhouse. We rented in our 20's and were able to buy our first (but "forever") home in upper NW at 32 (me) and 37 (DH).[/quote] I'm a PP who bought awhile ago, and I was posting to make OP feel better about not having a house, not because I was suggesting she should enter a time machine and buy 10 or more years ago. I think the market here changed radically, and prices have far outstripped wage growth, at least in my field. We bought our first house for something like 1.5 times our gross HHI. Despite a significant increase in salaries in my field, you could never buy a house on 1.5 times gross starting salaries in my field today in the same neighborhood. So OP isn't doing worse than others. She's just hitting the same wall as many others.[/quote]
