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…
Pretty common - Romania
Though in big cities… Good luck owning. The strategy seems to be, for developers, to build really expensive apartments that nobody can outright buy, the rent is super high, therefore you can’t save, and you stay a renter your whole life there.
Nobody is building modest apartments I swear… Every new block is for the elites only, even in my shitty little town.
Most of us are lucky enough to own an apartment or house outright but we usually own modest, old, commie or post commie buildings.
