Part of the problem is that many feel they have to have 2000+ sq. ft., 2-car garage, in an ideal location. Oh, and it has to have top of the the line everything (fixtures, appliances, etc.) in order for it to be livable.
The first home my wife and I purchased was a 3-bedroom on .75 acres in Danville, VA. We paid $98k for it. But that’s not what the younger generation wants. They want the immediate gratification. We’re now in our 8th home, but I still don’t believe in living beyond my means or buying a home just to impress someone.

That’s pretty much the only option you have, unless you want to live in a neighborhood where you have to worry about constantly getting robbed.
