Where are you getting this information from that people want a forever home right away? You're talking nonsense.

Just take a read of this - https://uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/uk...060042411.html

Also did you take a look at the average wage vs house price graph I posted earlier? https://images.app.goo.gl/P1NT2ZDTC8VgKis98
I bought my 1st house in The Hawthorns [Pentwyn], in 1976/7. for £14,000.According to Zoopla It sold for £140,000 a couple of yrs ago. Interest rates were 14%. Mortgage rates 16% at least at times. I was earning less than £5k. I'd saved for 4yrs with the Woolwich B.S. to get the deposit.
No help from f*cking anyone. Today a mortgage on that house would cost not far off what I was paying with a less than £5k salary. All furniture borrowed or begged.
It's never been easy buying a house, the differences between know and then are exaggerated..
