How old were you when

[kirbster]

28 and lived there a little over 11 years. Would've like to have kept it and rented it out but I didn't want to mess with it.

Not in the current market.

Current market houses are selling for more than asking price. The competition is insane.

I was 21 and still living in it 5 1/2 years later.

[BradM]

23, still in it.

23....paid $37k for the house. Sold my SN95 and spent about $7500 of that on fixing up the house. Got married a year later. Sold the house after 5 years for $69900. Owed less than 10k on it when it sold. It was nice holding that check!!

I was 34?

It's a shack. I still own it. Don't really see myself getting rid of it because property taxes are cheap and we like the location. It's paid for and it's actually a nice little cheap get away in the winter

30k more? You can't get a loan for my than appraise value and having that kind of revolving cash for the average home buyer is rare, since you would have to come out of pocket with that much of a down payment.

Lots of cash customers from the west coast.

Valid point, I could see that as a viable reason for some of it.

[SVT Lurch]

Personally, 24 and still in it.

Business, I've seen as low as 21 and as old as 45 buying their first home ranging in price from $100,000 on up to $550,000. Most move every 7 years, but I've had several people do it in 2-3 and a couple have done it two years in a row.

I bought a home in frisco in sept 2010 and sold in July 2013 for $59k more than I paid for it.

I suppose low balling me on that Kimber was just an act. LOL

[slow99]

I knew one guy who didn't get $30k more.

[DieselSmoke]

25 and I'm 32 now and just sold it last month.

[whitetrash]

29.

Don't own one.

I liked the ideas of no ties to anything if I wanted to go. I know a few people that have told me buying a house was the worst decision they ever made. That has kept me hesitant for a bit but I plan to be in the market next year or year after. Starting late but I want land and ill die there
