I have good credit but I cannot buy a house.

My husband and I bought ours in 2019, and I feel like we did so in the nick of time, and that's with being on two programs and taking an additional loan for the down payment, and that's because paying the mortgage was lower than renting an apartment at the time.

People can't afford housing anymore. I feel guilty even owning a house because it's gotten so bad (even though the bank technically owns this shit).

It’s not like prices are going to rise forever. Market cycles are natural. There will be a crash, and there will be cheaper homes once again, and as long as the government is competent, random businesses won’t buy them all with the intent to rent them out to potential homeowners.
