Home buying these days feels a bit like trying to adopt a pet hyena. The sheer ridiculousness of the steps people have to take to purchase a property in the current market is ripe for comedic interpretation, a fact not lost on various corners of the Internet. <\/p>\n
Trey Kennedy, a sketch comedian on YouTube (as opposed to a sketchy comedian anywhere else), has a particularly keen perception of what he calls The 5 Stages of Homeownership<\/a>. <\/p>\n Kennedy starts with the buying phase – something with which many who are in the market are frustratingly familiar – by coming to the conclusion that the only way to secure a house is to purchase it as quickly as possible. In his case, this results in a house that he has never seen–and has a hole in the roof – becoming his responsibility, but he doesn\u2019t seem to care.<\/p>\n \u201cDoes it have a toilet and a driveway?!\u201d he barks at his Realtor. \u201cCOOL!\u201d<\/p>\n The next phase – the move-in segment – is a blur of friends who refuse to help in exchange for cheap pizza, differences in leases ending and closing dates, and frustrated yelling. We\u2019ve all been there before.<\/p>\n
