“starter home” is a marketing ploy. It makes you feel better in your purchase, because it leads you to believe that someday you can buy something more. It’s sad because I think it actually makes you feel worse. Starter homes in San Diego go for the same price as “move up” homes in other regions. Since “starter homes” refers to being young, stay young forever and forget about it. Only you can make yourself angry, so stay on the bright side. I’m in my 30’s and still have a “starter income/job” but I’m not letting that keep me down. I live in a starter home and someday will move into a “move up McMansion”.
