I know I’m supposed to want it to keep going up as a wealth generator or whatever.

But like… I wouldn’t be able to afford the monthly payments if I bought my house right now and it’s scary. Also none of my friends are buying homes, none of them are even renting full places. Just like renting rooms.

So what are your feelings home owners of lemmy?

    A house is a home for many. For others, a house is an investment. Betting on the value of your house to increase is the same as betting on the devaluation of the dollar. A house holds its value but doesnt increase. A house degrades and cost money to keep in good, usable shape. The reason you can sell a house for more than you paid for it is the value of the dollar.
