Across Reddit, a growing number of first-time home buyers are marking their milestone moment with a now-familiar caption: “We did it.”

The posts are simple but striking. A snapshot of a new living room. Cardboard boxes stacked against bare walls. A couple sitting cross-legged on the floor, keys in hand while digging into a pizza like it’s a five-star meal. Sometimes they add the mortgage rate they locked in.
