Alas, the Best Time to Buy a House Was 35 Years Ago

[Real_Estate_News]

It is easy to calculate the worst time to buy a house: usually, it?s exactly when you are looking for one.

I agree. In fact, the early 70's is exactly when we bought our home. We would have a hard time finding a small car to purchase for the amount we paid to purchase our home. The house is a 3 bedroom ranch with two baths, double car garage and a large yard.

Not only was the reason to purchase houses 35 years ago good because of interest and cost but because of how they were built. Have you seen how some of the houses are being built. It is like you can reach out and touch your neighbors from a bedroom. The houses are being built to closely together and very poorly. I have seen where it has taken about 2 months to build a house. I would think that it would take longer.
