Default 370z or house?
It sounds silly to ask the question, but I am in my early 30 and i have been saving for quite some time now and have been working in the same company for yeears now too. So I really want a Z but at same time i want the house and of course I am not qualified to get both at the same time. what do you guys think? So far I have seen Z owners always have good house to park their car.

Most normal people would say house.

But A True Z Fanatic(see my title) like me would get the 370z no matter what. Matter of fact, I wished I could live in my 370z 24-7.

But that has to be your choice...

Bay Area...Land of the over priced Homes....And yes, they have risen a lot in the last 18 months....Still below bubble prices, but still the best Investment.

House....up 110K in Value in 18 months..370Z.....surely not up in value...

Cars unless they are basic DD's are Luxuries...Homes are part of an Investment strategy...Stocks, Real estate and other assets...But Cars are mostly fo the Fun and adrenaline...

I just bought a townhouse in South San Jose. It's a smaller unit but in a nice newer area. Has a 2 car garage so my cars and bikes have a home too. My mortgage on the house in Seattle held me back when looking for a house but still got something.

I spent a year looking and making offers.

Depending on what market you are in you should buy a house as the rates eventually will go up significantly (probably 3rd quarter of 2014) and home prices in most states are now on the rise due to the huge decline (excludes parts of Florida and Las Vegas)

I'm thankful to be buying a house now and have my Z but if I had to choose especially at your age which I'm about the same as you I would say house all day long.

Pretty darn slow incline here in Vegas. My condo is worth half of what I paid for it. Not that I paid much for it.

Get a home before the rates and prices go up to ridiculous levels, I'm in Vegas though so it's probably the highest here. Prices are increasing at an alarming rate and investors are forcing first time buyers to buy new. Although, I bought my z last year before buying a home. Lol there was nothing on the market at that time, so I got the z instead.
