I spent 9 years renting, paying 6-7k RMB for an apartment that was selling for 8 million RMB. Even though I didn’t build wealth through housing, I was able to save a lot because rents were cheap where I lived and I didn’t buy. This works in markets where rents are cheap and sale prices are high (most of China actually), you have to do the math, “buy at any cost” is not a good answer.
