Why Buying a Home Feels Impossible Now

Ever feel like home buying is out of reach? You’re not alone—new data says folks in 2024 are shelling out nearly 45% more of their income on mortgages than just five years ago. Blame sky-high prices and rising interest rates, especially outside big cities. Even renters aren’t safe, with average rents up $1,000 a year since 2020. The result? Less cash for everything else. So if you’re feeling squeezed, it’s not just you—it’s the whole market! #HomeBuying #RentersLife #MoneyHacks #RealEstate
