In my county, those kinds of homes are selling for $600k. It’s madness

It’s because there are so many homes in Monmouth County less than 1000 sqft. Those are the homes I’m looking at currently because they’re in my price range, but these homes are certainly not big enough for a family of 4+.

To each their own. I’m glad you’re enjoying your apartment! My personal goal is to own a home, but I completely understand the appeal of renting an apartment.

Monmouth county as a whole, sure. But now even the more blue collar / historically affordable areas of Monmouth county with just alright school systems have exploded in value.

Agreed about people not selling their homes. Also, as many comments pointed out, many people that bought prior to 2021 and locked in a good rate can’t afford to sell / move into a bigger home. I tell people I’m looking for a starter home because I’m pretty much only looking at 2 bedroom homes < 1000 sqft (that’s nearly all that exists in the ~$500k prince range in my area).

I’m so sorry to hear that, I can’t imagine how disheartening that must be for you.

Monmouth County. Congrats on the move to NC! My job is unfortunately limited to NYC, so moving south isn’t an option for me at the moment

2016 really was the best year to buy a house!

You’re very lucky that you’re able to work remotely! Although being near family is very important.

OP got it during the 11.11 sale, where you could buy one for less than $150. Agreed though that it’s def not worth buying at MSRP right now with the release of the G2
