At what age did you buy your first house

I was 35 and husband was 38. We always feel like we got a late start and are playing catch-ip!

I think I was 31. Reason being. . .when I was in my 20's, the interest rates were around 18 percent! We saved and actually built our own in the country. . . .for our dogs of course! lol

[Darth Penguin]

we were both 25.

We were both almost 25, and we are still in that same house 29 years later.

36 and DH was 38. Just last year! We got a late start but we wanted to have a decent down payment and a contingency fund saved. Worked out well because we ended up buying in a totally different city than we were first considering and we love it.

In the neighbourhood where I lived, the small, semi-detached homes were selling for half a million. I lived in a property where I didn't have to pay rent (just covered property taxes, utilities, repairs, etc.) so I didn't really think about buying. On my salary, there wouldn't have been a chance!!

After DH and I got married, we rented for one year (when our lease ran out) and then began looking for a home. That gave us enough time to get to know our town well enough to know where we wanted to live.

I was 26!

I was 20 and hubby was 22, cute little brick bungalow on 1 1/2 acres, stayed there for 5 years and then upgraded!!
