Translation: Since the kids cannot afford to buy the house on their own, they have to turn to their parents for help.


I think that if you ask people how they bought their first house you would find more people today who buy that first house without help from their parents than in any time in history. In fact the biggest risk today is that first time buyers have borrowed from mortgage markets what they used to get gifted or lent to them by close relatives.
