Agreed. I bought a $300k house with half that guys down-payment. I kicked myself because I easily could have bought sooner and got much more house for my money.
And have way more debt as well
No, i would have been able to buy a bigger home for nearly the same price due to the rapid increase in home prices. My neighbor had sold their home just a year or two prior for about $15k more than we wound up paying for ours, but the home is almost double the square footage.
Still happy with our purchase overall as even apartment rentals in the area are higher than what we're paying in the few years since we bought.
