Interesting...I think younger folks in this day and age have more disposable income...the ones that don't are whining about their education not being free and having to pay back those student loans...lol. When I was that young first priority was paying back student loans and then purchasing my own home. Driving a nice car was not on the radar until much later in life.

On the other hand one of my friends bought a house around 2009 and prices have stayed stagnant. He's selling it now and values rose only about 50k after 7 years. After factoring in the costs, there's barely any net profit. It's hard to predict when and where you can turn a respectable profit on home ownership, and it will always involve putting a ton of eggs in one large basket.

It's very similar to trying to time the market. Maybe luck works in your favor but also very possible that it does not. I prefer more conservative approach staying with the market indexes and dollar cost averaging. And in the meantime I can enjoy driving before the era of driving comes to an end.

Man I wish homes in my area were at a reasonable price. 500k here would get you the crappiest fixer upper.

Yes...people in your area moving to Oregon is why the housing market boomed in Portland! Californians with money that could not buy squat there...move to Portland and paid too much for homes there. Thanks to them!

You own your home and you probably got in at the right time, i'm envious. Amazon is expanding like crazy(and many other tech companies are moving to WA) and soon Seattle will be SF(or close enough, at least property prices wise). I look at Seattle home prices and rents and weep sitting here in my tiny but egregiously expensive apartment in NYC(even more when i found out there's no state income tax in WA ). To others talking about younger people being more willing to spend on a car vs loans/house, companies like Amazon hires loads of software engineers every year. Most of them will be no older than 21 and earning at least $100k before bonuses/stock options etc etc. 100k is pretty good to get a nice car for yourself, isn't it ? They'll get that house when they're in their 30s and cash in those lovely stock options. |

I moved from the Burbs in 2003 and bought a 1924 entry level home in "west Seattle". 20 min bus ride to AMZ although I don't work there. My crappy $300k home is now valued at $515K so not a huge gain. Having said that, the nicer brick tudor next to me listed for $639K sold for $667k. Uh huh. 3 days on the market. Couple in their 30's. It's just crazy stuff. Expedia is also moving their HQ downtown. Oh wait, this is a car forum right? Had my 235 for 4 months and have had ONE person ask me "is that an M235i". Then again I like the low key aspect of it actually.

And yeah this is a car forum! Proud owner of an MG/Coral M235i for the last 6 months. I love the fact that its low key. That may change once M2s start showing up. I have a feeling we'll be seeing a lot of those. |
