Is your house owned or rented?

I would love to own my own place but cannot afford it.

As of January it is now fully owned made last mortgage payment felt good doing it. We went out and had lunch after to celebrate it was finally over.

My husband and I own the house we are staying now, though we are still paying for the mortgage. I always consider ourselves lucky as the houses were so much cheaper at the time we bought. I don't think we can afford to buy a house now as the price goes up a lot in these few years, and I am a stay-at-home mom now. Hope you'll be a house owner very soon, though you'll have more responsibility at that time.

We not only own our house, I designed it too

We have owned a few houses and this one is 25 years old and all ours!

When mom and I moved to Latvia back in 1994 we purchase a home here in the suburbs of Riga. However the difference here is that you don't purchase your home along with the land. Our garden area belongs to the government. Therefore we have to pay very high land taxes but the house is all paid for. This is a very bad thing because it is hard to keep up with the money and I would be happier if I didn't have these problems.

I wish you much good fortune in finding a nice place of your own. It will be well for you. My place is rented, but I am so grateful for it. I have lived in two houses in my life that I partially owned. It was not for me.

Congratulations to you! We own two houses, free and clear. My older son bought his second co-op in Manhattan and our younger son lived with us after college until he saved up to buy a brand new house.

Owning your own home was once the 'great Australian dream' but it is becoming more and more difficult to achieve nowadays. We are lucky enough to own our home.

We have our own house in the province but we left it when we decided to transfer here in the city. My parents are the ones who visit it once in a while. So here, we are renting an apartment which we live for almost seven years now.

We are living in a house we don't own but it's like our own already.
