    Bought a house in early 2021, I didn’t think we were ready but my wife loved the place we found. In retrospect, it was our last opportunity to buy in the region we are in, I can’t afford today’s home prices and rates.

      That seems to be what’s happened here.

      We bought in 2018, and the value has doubled since then. However, upgrading to a bigger place with room for all our stuff (and our kids stuff) is almost out of reach.
