because they are expensive, it is a commitment, and it is a liability

/thread

All the land within reasonable driving distance is built up and NIMBYs forbid upzoning in existing neighborhoods and new construction so supply is bottlenecked and cannot meet demand for the forseeable future so it takes a lot longer for first time buyers to get the money together to buy.

Fpbp

they prefer avocado toast

Banks are hostile towards nobodies. It's been that way since 2008. By 2020, millenials might be rich enough, or considered not risk prone enough, to where they can buy real shit like property.

I make 45k a year, have 10k in debt and a kid

Because crypto died right before I was going to put a down payment

Checked.
Its true too, we do like avocado toast.

So youre telling me...to buy a house i have to go thru a 'realtor' that doesnt know anything about houses, give him 10% of whatever i paid for the house for filling out paper work and than pay 'property' tax on the property i just bought..and then i have to take care of the house with no tax cut incentive to take care of my house and than i have to take care of all the problems that the realtor, inspector, seller, and bank appraiser missed in the first placed and than your telling me etc etc...where i live houses are marked up 50% from their assesments, alk about a waste of money

I live in my parents basement and get 325€ neetbucks
I will never be able to afford my own home

>tfw had to sell house to fund avocado toast addiction
it's not fair bros

Because renting is unironically a better option than buying in this fucking market.

Housing market crash when guys? I genuinely want it to collapse now so I can buy in cheaply, £400k+ average for a shitty house is way too fucking much. Thanks, boomers

Boomers.

They pay awful wages and then want everyone to pay inflated prices for their matchbox houses

bought a flat/apartment when I was 25... does that count?

I want to buy a cheap house in a rural area, but then I'd have no job and income to pay the bills.

In many places in Europe the only way to get a proper job is to live within some overcrowded city (because of MUH HISTORICAL VALUE), or in its overcrowded suburbs with shitty transportation, and don't even think about commuting by car.
US? I guess not living on a coast immediately disqualifies one from counting as a "proper" millenial.

be a farmer.

Those houses would be $3.3 million plus here in Canada.

Fucking dirty boomers. Then they use that money to go on cruises and live it up like parasites.

I would give it a couple more years. When you start seeing 0 down financing and first time buyer incentives that will be the precursor to the collapse.

i don't have a million at my disposal rn. sry to disappoint you, op.

Bob and Deb go on a Caribbean cruise every winter. Bob always brings his Hawaiian shirt.

Where I live, I'm competing with rich Chinks buying fuckoff houses for their uni kids. Maybe by the time my gf's ovaries dry up we'll have enough to mortgage 90% if someone's gracious enough to take a non-cash offer. Dis mus be da American Dream

How do we attack the boomer problem?

Millenials can see that Chinks & Boomers are just trying to dump their bags. Millenials are dumb but not that dumb.

do you really need 6 bed and 4.5 bathrooms?
try getting a 1-2 bedroom place first

How?

No way I'm paying 500% value on a Boomer shitbox for 30 years at high interest rates.

I work at a grocery store

My boomer boss owns a fucking Y A C H T whilst we save away 65 hours a week for €250 a month pay. Legit one of the worst generations to ever exist

your investments are a fucking meme

Theyll do it to themselves. Pension plans are a massive ponzi scheme set to pop when enough Boomers retire and are all collecting from them. Millenials/Zoomers arent making nearly enough to support them continually, and the Boomers have blown all of their own money on cruises, classic cars, and golf. Boomers are going to get Just'd so incredibly hard.

Don't do this if you're not american, extremely hard work and the pay is fucking SHIT in the rest of the world.

do you really want to wake up at 4am and work your land everyday. on the plus side you can start drinking at noon everyday

I know but ironically

Haha, this is me. Not that dumb

Yes

I know, I've heard stories of even not planting anything then just claiming crop failure and getting even more free money, thanks to government bills wanting to prevent them selling the land for property development, so to protect US agriculture production potential.
Sounds like a nice gig lmao. Certainly beats working 6:30am-6:30pm six days a week for €250 net pay every month after rent/taxes

I’m a new realtor right now, at a young age in the Midwest. In a blue state. I’m beyond fucking shocked at the offers I’m receiving on some of our listings for absolute pieces of shit houses. I’m talking houses you can’t even live in and need to be destroyed are selling for 150K plus, on about .5 acres of land. It’s NUTS. you can 100 acres in Utah for 100K... what the fuck is going on? I got into real estate because I’m nearly certain in 5-10 years when everything hits the fan I’ll be able to scoop neighborhoods up for mere Bitcoins. I was trying to be ahead of the curve.

Banks are back to signing a mortgage for anyone with a pulse again. Read the news once in a while that's not on a crypto fake news site.
Someone I worked with is a real estate drone outside of Sacramento, said the Chinese investors are gone, she's selling houses to young people, nobody is having problems getting loans. Enough time has passed since the last crash for young people to just deal with the prices, and they make it work.
Granted, this is young people with jobs, not NEETs who sit at home staring at charts all days, breathing in hopium and their own farts.

are you from baltics?

No such thing as owning a house anymore

Miss one mortgage payment and be foreclosed on and kicked out in weeks even of it was almost paid off

No thanks kikes

South Germany, 'muh strong economy' is a meme, only thanks to slave workers like apprenticeships and interns acting as very cheap/free labour. Fucking BOOMERS have the money, property and power here, they took from all generations after them and now we live like complete shit

Attached: IMG_20181031_114617.jpg (3264x2448, 935K)

I own houses. Kikes or no, that's not how it works.

>Why aren’t milienials buying houses?
I'm waiting for the next crash to buy cheap.

Completely false. The banks are 100 percent cucked right now by strict loan guidelines. Bought my home last year. I offered asking but the home came 25k under appraisal, selling appealed and the bank/appraiser told them to fuck off because of some shit tier homes that sold 10 miles from the home I bought. They will not budge on loans and you have to have good to great credit with two years of steady income to get a loan right now.

Are they actually selling though or do they sit on Zillow for hundreds of days with the occasional 3-5k drop in price?

Buying now means you'll get cucked soon

Temp rental is even better if it's cheap

I don't intentionally live around a majority of non-whites

you've never owned a house and don't even know the process. why make fake news?

who the fuck pays 10% to a realtor? ...nobody does that.

this thread is full of fags who have convinced themselves that they haven't bought a house cause they don't want to. Surely it's not because they are broke and afraid to leave moms house.

They are selling. We listed two houses the other day, dumps, right next to eachother and we have THREE contracts asking to buy BOTH at one time, that was the contingency on the seller accepting the contract.

What I can say though is, it’s not millennials. We have almost NO millennial buyers except for the occasional teamster who makes 100K/year simply wrapping wires or working for an oil company etc. The other realtors in the office are all normie bluepill tier so I can’t openly talk like this with them. I simply cannot believe how much money people are paying for some of these houses.

Are they chinese buyers? I know the chinese are using oversea properties as a loophole to get their money out of china.

Well it’s a lot of LLCs right now. Businesses looking to flip (I think). I don’t have my hands on all the deals- but there are a lot of LLC buyers. Not many Chinks from what I’m seeing.

M8 I‘ve only beenmaking 80k/year since 2016, you really think the first thing i‘m gonna get is a house? And if i get into an accident or a relative of mine gets fucked over i‘m gonna be broke. Nice.
Just give me 5 years and calm your tits.

why on earth would I do that when I can live with mom and dad for free?

Most redpilled post here, living with parents/grandparents was how wealth had been built for centuries, only recently have we abandoned this concept for 'individual living'. I did this for my first 2 years of working and it set me up to where I'm 100% ahead of everyone else I know

Oh so it's some chumps looking to flip. Not surprised there is a ton of marketing saying it's a great time to do so. Just give it another few months before they're flips don't sell.

Millenial is the worst generation yo be born in.

I feel for millenials, at least we zoomers will be able to eventually drag ourselves up as time goes on, it's already too late for our older siblings who got sold nothing but lies from the moment they started school

>my first 2 years of working

I've hit my first decade of doing this

you keep equity in house, they just auction it off

Sucks bro, they crashed all the jobs and left only shit azubi work that pays legally almost nothing. Even with just 1500€ a month is ok to get a nice Wohnung but nope, pay around here is €600 before tax/KV. My family are the same with the cruises too. Fuck them all

I live in NoVa... fuckin hate this place. Jobs here are good though

millenial here, joy is greater once you've known darkness and hopelessness. We grew up truly hating the world but not knowing why. Seeing newer generations ready to embrace real solutions is the greatest pleasure there is.

Living with parents is the biggest “fuck you” you can give to the rent seekers and boomer land owners

what makes you think they will move in to a retirement home? they will just stay in their house until they die and you will have to care for them.

i am the guy who wrote this post: i am moving back in with my parents in two weeks because I found a job in my home town.
not only will living with my boomer parents make me save money, it also allows me to focus on my work, because my boomer mommy can cook my meals and wash my shirts. additionally, my german boomer parents are pissed that i am moving back in, that makes it even better. i will do anything to make the lives of this generation worse, because they turned our country into shit.

This, but unironically. Just bought a house with 30% down (also got free gibs) and a $126k portfolio at 27. I did move out after college for a year and a half living abroad and living with my parents sucked but it literally set me up to be ahead the rest of my life and so much further ahead of even my friends who make more than me.

We should all come together and agree to burn every bank down to the ground.

Find solice in the fact that they are complacently expecting to live off of a pension. When they all start taking it at once is when it collapses. There will be economic chaos at this time; but just remember what the eskimos did with their elderly in times of trial.

Not if your parents are renters. Mine lost the house due to falling for equity loan memes

Some people don’t have the luxury of having family that is both or either sound of mind or actually loves them unfortunately

But I suppose it hardens my resolve, to make something better out of this terrible hand, to constantly look for new opportunities and strive upward

I'm bought a house last year in Portland OR for 320K.

>t. 1991fag

nova is hopeless

My boomer parents took a loan and bought land and built us a house, my dad worked as a highschool french teacher and also helped putting bricks and stuff in the house.
I don't know any millenial who would sweat and learn and work with tough masons to build their house, desu it becomes a lot cheaper than buying something already built, and you can fuck it up if you don't know what you're doing or hire bad masons.
Boomers are based desu, parents slept for a year in a cold livingroom because they left the heated room for me and my sister.

I hate boomers so much. My mother inherited a house and money totaling a million dollars twenty-five years ago and instead of investing it, blew it all and refused to work. Now all the money is gone and she is asking me for money even though I'm also very poor. Same with my father. He married a fat accountant and she died 6 years later. He also inherited a million. Now he is blowing it just as hard.

I have three siblings. Four children total. Especially with my mother, her family spent generations as immigrants (Sweden) to build that up, with my grandfather being a judge before he got cancer. She just blew it all away. All she will leave for her 4 children is debt.

That's how boomers are, though. All they care about is their house in the suburbs and making sure their car will take them to wageslavery and Walmart. When they get old I'm not doing shit for them. I can't wait for boomers to die.

No way I'm anchoring down for 30 years in one place.
While I'm renting, I can move to another job wherever I want, I can escape divorce rape and as an Eurofag, I have more rights than a mortgage. Prices have risen way above our income level. I'm not stupid to indebt myself for 30+ years. I'll buy something when there will be blood on the streets.
