I had a house but after the divorce I am planning to buy again.....somewhere fairly cheap in comparison though

8 years. Sorry to know that rates are getting higher..trust me it will be more expensive later on.

We built this house 23 years ago and paid off the mortgage in 15 years. Mortgage rates were around 7%, down from 10% or higher around 1990. I'm sorry people are having problems finding affordable housing.

I've been living in my house all my life, apart from 6 years when I was a university student. I was born in this house, my children were born here, and with some luck I will die here. It's always been here, it's an old house, no living person has witnessed its construction.

Sorry for the news about Her. Those blessings are very much needed wherever one sleeps.

12 years.

Mortgage is paid off now.

8 yearsin this one. Id rather buy one rather than rent.

Going on 19 years. 38 years for the prior one.

37 years

We moved into an apartment in Aug 2021, after living in our condo for almost 30 years, prior to that 20 years in 2 different homes.

{@1drinkmargarita] we have been in our present house for fifty five years since 1967 we have always rented

We recently sold the house we were living in for 10 years. We just bought a new one this month. I hope to stay here for a long time.

Everyone is complaining about high interest rates. It was 18% when we bought are house. When it got down to 11% i thought i was in heaven. Been here over 35 yrs

We have lived In our current house for 18 years. My husband built it and he was my first everything and our kids have grown up in it. Its home. The farm house was remodeled and added on to about 15 years ago. We holiday out here. We own both homes outright.

For me it’s much better to own. I have on the home I am in since 2016 and before that I owned another home I lived in for many years

If you own, after it is paid off, there is only upkeep. If you rent, it is an expense for life. I have owned several homes, some have been good investments, some have been complete bombs. I own a piece of property I intend to retire on and build a log cabin. It will be free and clear, utilities, upkeep and taxes will be my only expenses. The local market will let you know if you can likely make a profit if you move away for work. Personally, I want as few bills as I can have when I retire.

Thirty something years. I bought a house on four or five acres '88 or '89, it's been paid off for several years now

About three years... when the big C hit me I sold my big home and started renting this smaller house. I've found renting to be convenient because I don't have to worry about dealing with things that wear out, etc. I also have a great and really responsive landlord... that is often they dey. A great landlord makes renting a pleasure.

I've lived here 21 years. My mortgage is manageable and much less than I started with.😁

I am sorry about your mom.

I have been in my house for 16 years.

family home..... 54 yrs and no mortgage

Mortgages are rising with the interest rates rising, but the home prices are coming back down too. o, it is a double-edged sword, either pay an outrageous price for a home with a low interest rate or pay the same for the same house with a lower purchase price but with a higher interest rate. Damned if you do and Damned if you don't.

I have lived on my current farm/farmhouse since May12th, 2012 when I bought it. Back then low purchase price but a 5% variable interest rate I refinanced two years ago to a lower rate. Like a I said damned if you do and damned if you don't.

I will own my house in less than 5 years
Bought it brand new over 25 years ago

I’ve lived here 21 years, it’s bought and paid off now. I thought I’d be moving but with the divorce I’m keeping the house, so I’m busy changing it all.

[i][c=BF0080]I’ve been living here almost 24 years. [/c][/i]

About 18 years. We built it new but we own it now. No mortgage, thankfully.

Hope you find something affordable.

Camping is better.

Current house almost 3 years. Yes, I own it.
