Okay I don’t have friends to ask…, but I have relatives and a lot of my parents’ friend circle and a lot of them apparantly own their homes… and apparantly there are a few that even own rental properties…
(USA, their social circle varies from Seattle, Boston, NYC, and Philly)
I’m with my parents and they own this house…
Northern Indiana / Chicago, millennial. Basically everyone in my circles own. Have one friend who rents (lives in NYC).
It seems not too crazy to own in IN, but the problem is you have to live in IN.
Chicago, and same, at least among college friends. And neighbors. Many work colleagues are renters, though.
