I get text messages multiple times of month from people who looked me up in public record asking if I want to sell my house.

NO! Barely anyone my age can even buy a house. I want to keep it.

I've gotten at least two voicemails. I get like with sales you have to take a risk but I find it extremely off putting to get messages asking if I want to give up my literal home.

Are you in a hot housing market? I used to get stuff in the mail during the housing crunch but I haven't gotten any recently.

We get letters from companies with a photo of our house but it either has a SUV we havent owned in 4 years or a minivan we havent owned in 15 out front.

Makes me wonder how "interested" they really "are" if they havent checked up in years

A lot of the time, they're investors or speculators looking to snap up a property they expect to be able to sell at a profit based purely on where it is. They aren't really concerned with whether or not it's a usable home so much as they're interested in reselling the land to other investors, so in many cases they'll just pull whatever photo they can find from street view or whatever without doing any further research.

I don't reply because I don't want to be on the radar as someone to keep pestering. I just block them.

idk how bad it is where you are but it's even worse cause i'm sure they're hoping to exploit the hope that you may be drowning in higher and higher interest repayments.

Very sad truth. Might as well hit the principle hard and call it a day.

My mom gets those in the mail, and they all look like manufactured "informal" inquiries despite the cursive lettering just being a font.

I'm basically incurring debt to improve my property now so I can have it paid off by the time I retire. That way I'll have a paid off paradise when I retire and only have to pay utilities and property taxes out of my retirement money.

I get a text about every month for the same property. And my dad and I share the same first and last names, with different middle names, so they want his house. But its also the house he sold when I graduated high school, so neither of us actually own it.

If you move to the US they don't really want to encourage individual homeownership anymore so you prob could try to buy a house and re-sell it to an investor asap who is going to do extremely shitty renovations and then sell it.

When I was still living in an apartment waiting for my house to be built and it was still just a vacant lot that I owned, I was getting letters to my apartment residence offering to buy "my house".
It was kinda comical.

I'm gonna be paying 50% of my net pay each month towards my mortgage/taxes/insurance.
But it's still worth it to own something finally.
(people say to go by gross pay, but that's fucking stupid, income taxes can vary wildly)

I want to make sure I have a place to live when I retire. I'm thinking extremely long game with my house. Unless I get some golden job opportunity and can BUY another house, I will not be moving. I don't like the state I live in a ton but I like that I have my own place.

Same.
I wanted a 1 story house so I can retire and stay here if I want to w/o having to move later. Most houses where I live are 2-story, it's one of the reasons I decided to build.
