The other hassle with house prices is this "property ladder" bullshit where people buy a house, do it up, sell it, buy a bigger one, do it up, sell it... bootstrapping to ridiculous levels. Socially, this results in higher prices.
I was in my mid-40s before I got a house and it was because my partner had the deposit. But it is nice having one and the backyard (smallish) is great, too. Owning is more hassle in some ways but moving every couple of years when you have so much stuff is worse
