at what age did you buy your first home
was just wondering as someone just mentioned that the average age of first time buyers is 30
just seems mad really, as say a 30 year morgage would me you would be 60 before its all paid off
my parents bought at 20, but these days pretty un-heard of I guess..
just interested to know

Was gonna buy at 25 but had to move down south for the job and houseprices down here are a fuckin joke. Im considering saving to buy a place back home and rent it out!
