I'm glad I bought my house in 1991. I could not afford it today, it's value has almost tripled.
Don't worry, the bottom is falling out of the market any day now, and you'll be able to afford it again.
You got in at the right time. I'm happy for you. (I'm being serious).
By the way, that's a facially incorrect statement. You DO afford it today, based upon your net worth if not your income. Otherwise you wouldn't be in it unless someone else was giving you free rent.
If you had your current net worth, and had to buy the home again at today's prices, you would have simply made the appropriate down payment and would be in the exact same position.
What you're saying is that you couldn't have afforded it in 1991 based on only your 1991 income at today's prices.
Well, (respectfully), duh.
I just sold mine, 300% cap gains over 14 years. Question now is how long to wait before getting back in again.
