I do appreciate that your fantasy alternative to house ownership is owning a condo and not renting an apartment. The difference is single family unit vs shared walls, not owning vs renting. In ideal situations, I think almost everyone would prefer owning over renting. |

I don't think that's true at all especially for people earlier in life/career. Even had I had more money in a brokerage account, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't have made a home purchase (whether single family house or condo) before I did. And I don't think that's all that unusual for people 10 years out of school or so.
Yes, I was at a point when I could afford it but I was also mentally ready to put down some more roots.
