Housing market trash

Another data point...those lots on the back east side of Sunset on Riverside drive were $300-400k back in 2019ish and there were tons of em. Now the cheapest one available is almost $600k and is right at the entrance and will be surrounded by mere peasant houses.
I’d never own property on the East side. We closed on our house 3 days before Hurricane Isaias hit as a category 1. As you know it made landfall less than a mile up the coast. Those homes had water up to 5’ up in places. Pools were filled up to the top with sand. Can’t imagine what a worse storm would do.

We rode out the storm. Worse it got for us on the West side was about a foot below our sea walls
 
I feel bad for anybody right in the middle of a trade up that may get left holding the bag on their current house. My brother may be in the spot, they closed on new place last month and are just now listing the old one.

I'll admit I'm losing more sleep over it than I would like. And the fed announced they were raising interest rates .75% today :mad:

Me either. Nor the west side. But that's cause I ain't a hi-rolla like summa yall ;)
 
Ouch. LOL
Not throwing shade (I think that's what the kids say?) just looking at price inflation and my single income :laughing:
 
Is the Fed bump of .75 gonna burst the bubble and stop the housing madness?
 
All it will do is pare it back the "I'd like to have something bigger/nicer" purchases. The people that are buying bc they had a job relocation or have to move out or whatever... they're still gonna buy no matter what, and as long as we have a supply shortage, that will keep those prices aloft.

IMO I'd expect that prices will level off and maybe come down slightly, but the most visible difference will be things being on the market for a reasonable amount of time (ee.g. multiple weeks to months) instead of the single-digit day stupidity.

Just have to be willing to take the risk. Most vacation places can be rented enough to cover the yearly mortgage. But you have to be prepared if it cant.

You're not wrong, it's just that latter part that I can't reconcile with yet.
 
One I’ve had my eye on…$100k reduction today…

Not my style, but that's a heck of a lot of house for the money. :eek:
 
This one was listed today in my old neighborhood in Concord. Spec built homes. Aint no way in hell that house is anywhere close to being worth 700k. We built our house in 2012 for 265 and sold for 335 in 2016. I think they missed the timing for that kind of stupidness price.

meh. I'd rather have more land and fewer bathrooms.
 
10 acres +/-5 is where I’m at…unless you’re farming, too much upkeep otherwise IMO.
Unless its wooded, knobby hillsides etc.

I've never understood why anyone would build a big ass, nice house, right on the road.
