This.....is hard to believe. I've been looking around non-major US cities, and even some major cities, and the starter homes are around 200-500k.
That's still fucked for a starter home but a million?????? That's the average home price in Honolulu and NYC lol.
It literally sounds super fake.
I can't find a single major city without 200k to 350k homes lol
It takes like 30 seconds to check what starter homes cost in any city, yet people will believe this shit instead of just go look.
Edit: this is the "source" https://www.zillow.com/research/million-dollar-start-home-2025-35100/
Just 1 chart with literally zero further info, no published actual data of where these numbers came from, how they calculated them, how they gathered the data.
Why do people fall for empty garbage articles like this so easy. I wish we collectively called this out more.
If a person posts an article citing another article, instead of just the original article, they should get fuckin blasted for it and downvoted to hell.
Post. Original. Sources.
As someone who has lived in and priced out homes in major US cities, I find this article to be accurate.

Zillow is a part of the problem. With all the data collected and only a few companies, prices are conveniently increasing at extreme rates. It is not just cities; land and rural areas are increasing at high rates.

Guess it's a nonstarter.
A starter home?! This home is a finisher home! A shelterer of gods! The GOLDEN GOD!
I am untethered, and my rage knows no bounds!

Get off your ass and get 50+ full time jobs you lazy fucks!
If I keep paying the current $1200 a month to my landlord it'll eventually trickle down to me. No doubt!
Then with that revenue, I'll buy my first house!
In reality, I'm almost 28 and I have no delusions about home ownership. Just like retirement!
