Welcome to the ‘nepo’ housing market: 40% of homebuyers under 30 get family money to cover their down payment
Definitely a trend I see around me (Europe, 30 years old).
All of my friends able to buy got at least 30k - 50k from their parents.
Is it the same around you? How do you deal with this?
Also, some data from a few days back:

Hasn't it always been like that? Article doesn't really give any comparison figures against prior years, but I really don't think this is anything new.

I think the difference is the size of the downpayment now.
Yes it’s still 20% but the homes are highly inflated now.

Each one has went up 20% a year at least.
Homes are supposed to go up the rate of inflation.
I bought one in 2020 for 320. It’s now worth 650. That’s insane.
