has his own place

That pretty much rules out anyone under 35 and single with current property prices.

Nearly all my friends who have bought property, did it as DINK couples, not on their lonesome. Hard to get the down payment together otherwise.

Has his own place can be renting

I didn't get my own place until I was 33 and I will fully admit that the only reason I was able to do that was because my parents lent me a huge amount of money. My car is literally their old car and looks like it.

Those really are kind of unreasonable standards. If I have my own car, and my own house, and apparently I have to do all the cleaning now even though there's two of us? What on earth is she being to the relationship?

I'm on the approach to my 40s and most of the people I know my age are still renting. I was lucky enough to buy an abandoned property after the 08' crash for 30k, and that was only because I was able to secure a large personal loan from my credit union.

Even though I'm making a lot more money now, I don't think I'd be able to afford the neighborhood I'm currently living in based on how much it's appreciated over the last 10 years.
