NAR data worth a minute if you have a Gen Z kid or you are Gen Z.

Gen Z is 4% of home buyers right now. Of the ones who did buy, 53% bought solo, 35% are single women. Buying earlier and on their own.

Three things I tell every first time buyer: start credit work now, look at down payment assistance (real, underused in AZ), and rent keeps going up while your mortgage does not.

My new house.

I need to get a rocking chair of some sort for the front porch, which has some sort of outdoor carpeting so it'll be nice and comfy.

Living room, eat-in kitchen, and powder room on the first floor. Two bedrooms (one will be my office), bathroom, and a small windowless spare room that I think I'll use as a dressing room on the second floor. The basement is laundry, and will be storage; it's usable but the ceilings are low.

May be a week or two before I'm moved in; the movers I worked with are booked until July. Sigh.

But yeah, that's my swingin' bachelor pad.
