Can I ask at what age people are typically buying their homes here in LA? Wondering at what age people are able to take the plunge.

I'm going to be 80 when I buy a place

likeuplifting

I’m sure this will vary by locale and property type, but I was 32. House is in Redondo Beach.

I am planning on getting my first place at 30.

I was 31

I was 31. San Fernando Valley

I was 34

27 in LA, 24 in general

41

33 married, SO also 33

30 - 2 BR new construction townhome in Hawthorne
37 - 4 BR almost new house in Redondo (kept townhome)

34 on the east side

I was 30

This varies greatly on circumstances and where in LA you'd like to buy a home. For example, will your family be helping you with the down payments? Do you want a small 2bd 1 bth house or bigger? Are you buying in the Valley or in Venice? Do you have a SO and have dual incomes?

Seems silly to compare yourself with others when there so many different factors in hugely expensive market like LA

Question, for short term options <2 weeks out, it usually pays to buy int the money rather than otm even if premium is double since the stock would have to move quite a ways otherwise for you to capitalize and you have limited flexibility. Is this correct? And for longer term options it’s ok to bet more outside the money since you have time on your side should it break or stall.
