  "account": "Matias Mofre, a 20-year-old student, plans to buy a house together with his brother. The brothers intend to pool their two incomes to cover the costs, says Matias. The 20-year-old is unconcerned by the attention from the journalist from E24 who confronted him about his housing plans. He responds, \"Oi! It's far enough in the future.\"\n\nMofre emphasizes that before he can buy a house, he must first finish his education and then enter the workforce and find a stable job. Currently, he has a fortunate financial situation: he lives rent-free with his aunt. When he reaches his early 20s, perhaps around 26-27, Mofre believes he may be ready to purchase a house. He hopes his younger brother will join him in the housing search. Traditionally, buying a home is done with a partner or alone, but Mofre's brothers are not the only ones doing it. According to property broker Jonas Hovland of Krogsveen, more and more people are purchasing homes with family members or close friends. Hovland notes that this phenomenon has become more visible in recent years due to increased competition to enter the housing market, driven by higher interest rates and prices. He stresses the importance of people getting into the market, stating, \"It's become a battle to get in, and not everyone has the means to do it alone.\" Property manager Christoffer Askjer of Sem & Johnsen shares similar views. He believes the phenomenon is not new but has gained more attention. When asked about plans if a partner joins them, Mofre says, \"We'll talk about it later; if it happens while we own the property together, one brother might have to buy out the other.\" While buying a house with friends or family doesn't necessarily imply a lifelong commitment, Hovland notes that the goal is to get a foot in the door, build equity, and ride the property value increase. Historically, this approach has paid off, Mowland confirms.",
