Why Buying a House Feels Impossible Now

Thinking about buying a house? You might want to grab another coffee. In Alaska, it now takes nearly 10 years just to save up for a down payment—and that’s actually better than the national average of almost 13 years! With home prices and mortgage rates both up, the dream of homeownership is slipping further away for many. If you’re house-hunting, you’ll need patience (and maybe a side hustle or two). Midwest and Southern cities are still your best bet for a quicker move-in. #HomeBuying #MoneyHacks #RealEstate #PersonalFinance
