We didnt invent anymore than the term Kleenex. Its part of the lexicon of life. Get over it.

ok, sdrealtor, I’m over it but I bet you don’t use that term or any other cheesy cliches in your listings. Thanks for all your enlightening posts on all subjects. Your input is hopefully helping me save a lot of money and maybe I can eventually get out of the “starter home” category. I am addicted to the intelligence and insight of this website.May 21, 2007 at 9:27 AM #54085eccen in escParticipanteccen in esc

since you want to ‘get out of the starter home category’, i’m assuming the intended effect worked. that is, to motivate you to want to buy more house than you need.

May 21, 2007 at 9:52 AM #54091sdrealtorParticipantNo problem and I didnt mean to be rough on you. Had a rough weekend. I’m sure to are more than a little frustrated at this mess we call a housing market out here. I hope things get better for you and for anyone else pursuing their home ownership dreams without a desire to board a train to financial ruins.
This really is a wonderful website.

If these Piggingtonians are correct, and I believe they are, I should be able to buy something decent in a couple of years.

May 21, 2007 at 10:29 AM #54084NotCrankyParticipantYours truly has never owned anything more than a “starter car” I can buy any car I want and I am proud of my history of car ownership . Why would it be any different with a house?I mean other than the fact that we live in a material things equal status kind of a world? The term starter home bothers me in that it describes nothing.What is a starter home for mechanic? For a young doctor or lawyer? As Drunkle points out the term assumes that you must be dissatified there until you get the move up home and that you are a failure if you get stuck there.Maybe the most affordable houses in any neighborhood should be called houses for the smart and frugal?

Like most cliches, someone just started “starter home” and others just copied it. I’ve never read more copycat cliches than on real estate listings. It’s really quite hilarious. But I still think “starter home” is insulting. Peace
