My 2nd home was an 1100sf rancher built in 1962. It has all of these things.
The house I grew up in was built in 68 and had none of them. It was custom built on the water, had fiberglass shower inserts, linoleum in the kitchen and bathrooms. Now 99% of the houses around here are built on slabs, so that cut down on hardwood, but the 60s weren't exactly the height of interior design. Dad was an engineer but we were a single income family and this was their first house; it wasn't a luxury model. It was also far enough out that our mailbox was one of five out on the nearest highway, about a mile from the house.
The house I'm in now had those features, also built on the water, but it was built by a contractor for his personal home and was by no means a starter home.

This may be the perception, but it’s not necessarily true.
A starter home built in 1965 would likely have windows on all exterior walls of a bedroom, would have millwork trim around all windows & doors, and would likely have real wood floors. Also, they would more than likely have a tiled bathroom.
Most new construction only have windows on 1 br wall and all windows & transitions just have finished drywall. The bathroom would be linoleum and a shower insert.
Not much of this is accurate.
I lived in a 1965 version of a starter home when I was in grad school in 1983, and not only was there no hardwood flooring, but it was about 850 square feet, no garage or even carport. I doubt you can even find a new home today with those specs.
My daughter’s “starter home” - the home we’re all twisted up about that cost $400K - has a 9’ front door with glass inserts that I can buy at Home Depot today for $1,650. It has a Nest doorbell that feeds into a Brilliant smart home panel that controls (remotely) the garage door, HVAC, and serves as the hub for the security system with cams/sensors. Before installation that’s about $1K in electronics. Compare that to my starter home in the same city (1988), my front door can be bought at Home Depot today for $400 and my doorbell costs $39 and takes 15 minutes to install.
That’s an apples to apples comparison using today’s dollars, and it’s about a $10K premium for today’s starter home after labor and markup. And we haven’t even gotten through the front door.

But, a lot (not all, but a lot) are looking for their first home to have everything that most people's "forever" homes have.
I was looking for a few things when looking for my first house. I needed the roof to be in decent enough shape, I needed a working A/C, and I wanted to be somewhere where I wouldn't get shot walking from my front door to my mailbox. If you can find that for under $200K, more power to you.
I also was not really in the market to buy a fixer upper because I am not very skilled in home repair.

That architecture sounds like a highly underpaid profession for the effort and training that go into it. Can easily beat that waiting tables. A server should not be making more than a architect five years out of school.
That’s a first year salary. I guarantee in 5 years they’re at around six figures.

I've seen the server trap kill a lot of potential. Yep, you can make more today than that professional with the degree or tech training and it's hard to walk away from that. But in 20 years you'll still be making the same relative money and that professional will have doubled or tripled their income.

no After 5 years, they MIGHT be getting ready for their license.
I suppose they may make $100K in NYC of SF, but nowhere else unless daddy owns the firm.

What year was this?
Flippable houses have been pretty much snapped up for the last 10 years.
2013. You might have to drive some, but like I said, wants don't necessarily align with need and means.

No young person starting out in a professional career can afford a $400K home without serious help from their family.
So you don’t start with a $400,000 home. You start with a starter home and work your way up.
But….work….it’s so out of fashion these days.

Maybe these high house prices will help us to have a little more undeveloped land around Denham Springs. Currently, developers and landowners continue to clear and build with no regard for current residents’ quality of life, i.e. traffic issues, overcrowded schools, adequate police protection. I almost feel as if I live in the South American rain forest!

You are right but not over housing but over racism because its the midterm elections and the Dems have to get the black block vote out in 6 months.
Will it be another Rodney King, Trey Martin or another black who resists arrest and shot not by a taser but by a policeman's gun on the opposite side of his belt.
Its coming and if you own a business be ready to defend your business with weapons like the Koreans had to do in California after racist blacks burned down L.A. after Rodney King got roughed up.

You start with a starter home and work your way up.
I had only 4 first time buyers over 400k.
I get that 400k gets you a slum in parts of the country. It gets you a really nice subdivision around Tuscaloosa

That’s silly. Of course it’s about that to the bank owners and managers. It’s about making a buck to the surveyor, too, and the Contractors, and the real estate agent.

All the networks started pushing that Tiny House BS years ago. Conditioning the young to live in a trailer.
Posted on 4/30/22 at 4:43 pm to Eli Goldfinger
There are those that can afford a double wide in the trailer hood.
Then some of us can afford single wides down at the park.
Then some live in RV’s.
Of course the lucky ones live in a van down by the river.
At the end of the day it is all good man.
