57: Do Starter Homes Still Exist?

What happened to starter homes?

For decades, the idea was simple: buy a modest first home, build equity, and eventually move up. But today, many buyers feel like starter homes have disappeared entirely.

In this episode, Silas Lindenstein takes a closer look at the concept of the starter home and explains why the traditional version may be gone, but the opportunity is still very real.

Silas talks about:

• Why starter homes feel harder to find today

• How housing markets have changed

• Why buyers may need to rethink what a “starter home” really means

• How the first home is still one of the most powerful financial steps you can take

If you’re trying to buy your first home and feeling discouraged, this episode may change how you think about the path forward.
