I've been at my current job for over a year now and it's got solid pay ~$60k/yr. I've still been bumming it at my parents with the goal moving out by buying my own place - likely with a friend who'd pay me rent.
However, with the housing market as it is with 8% interest rates and low supply it seems I'm stuck kicking back with my parents again.
At the same time, I feel like I'm stunting my development as I'd held off any serious relationships until I have my own place.
Renting doesn't seem ideal unless my parents kick me out (unlikely, we all get along and I pull my weight) as I just see it as lighting money on fire I could be saving for an actual house.
ATM I'm thinking of bitting the bullet for inflated interest rates as I'm in a good place financially (I have zero debt) but it does make me concerned that the “you will own nothing” seems less and less like a conspiracy theory for the Zoomer generation.
Is this r-slurred? What is the best move here?

There was a house nearby for $125k and it was very clear it was a hoarders house and had decades of grime lol.

Sad. Im really lucky with the prices here. Ludwigshafen might be a shithole but you have 2 of the largest European companies in commuting distance. BASF in walking distance depending on your location and SAP 30 minute drive away. Smaller builds are on the market between 100 and 200k.

Darn, I can't say I like SAP but they're definitely rolling in money - that's a sick area.

German real estate is split into two groups:
Group 1: dirt cheap houses that may or may not need extreme repairs, not even in the middle of nowhere just in a town with 99,9% old people and a chain bakery
Group 2: a house in a place you'd want to live: 12k/sqm
