Redfin chief economist Daryl Fairweather: "It seems like the only way to kind of get your foot in the door to the housing market is to have some help"

You don’t even need to have super rich parents. My mother helped me get my first home with 15K that she saved throughout the years. (I paid her back).

That was just enough for my down payment. Without that I couldn’t have gotten the house.

Lol a downpayment nowadays is easily two to three times that.

That is not true, there are programs and different types of loans where you can buy a house with as little as 3% down payment.

My country has 15% downpayment required by law.

Borrowed 3k from my bad didn’t have to pay back. There is nothing wrong with getting help from family to buy a home. Fuck this article. The housing issue is caused by large corporations who are buying up all the houses along with interest rates keeping average person from buying a home.
