You would think a crash is imminent but people are paying up right now for housing so there’s no incentive to decrease the prices

The 88% rise must be from all the transplants.

I’m actually more surprised that LA has a 42% rise
People always leave NYC and LA and are also coming in so the rise isn't that drastic, the research triangle, Austin TX and the south as a whole are seeing dramatic rises because of WFH and the fact it is "cheaper"

That is to say nothing of the elephant in the room: climate change.

The cost of insurance will go up in areas where wildfires go crazy every summer.
Rent in tornado alley going up too.

Lord help you if a flood happens and damages the home you saved to buy.

This spring and summer are about to be crazy if these extreme weather events add to the economic issues. There will be parts of the country that will just be too risky to live in because of these weather events and government lack of infrastructure and rapid response.
oh they will, wildfires will be the most pressing issue.

The Greatest Wealth Transfer In History: What’s Happening And What Are The Implications

Baby Boomers, the generation of people born between 1944 and 1964, are expected to transfer $30 trillion in wealth to younger generations over the next many years. This jaw-dropping amount has led many journalists and financial experts to refer to the gradual event as the “great wealth transfer.”

Phoenix. :damn:

Seriously though, the poor/middle class in this country are getting sucked dry. Where is the breaking point?



Yeah, it's crazy out here in Phoenix. Price increases are what drove me to finally just buy a condo last year. My last apartment complex was talking about $1800 for a two bedroom under a thousand square feet. The sad part is that if you can come up with the down payment/earnest money, you can actually get a halfway decent spot at less than insane prices if you're realistic about what you buy.

Unfortunately, the cash you need up front is probably going to be what most people put here make in a year. :francis:

It's a combo of transplants, and lack of diversification in new developments. Just within a 10-15 minute drive from where I live, there's about a good 10 new housing developments going up, and they're ALL apartments. That probably jumps to about 15 or16 if I counted ones that were either built a few years ago, or are in the middle of being completely renovated after a change in ownership. There are all of two actual single family home developments that I can think of, and those were starting in the $600,000 range. At this point z the market isn't just taking advantage of an unsustainable run, it's flat out designed this way.

I thought shyt was rough when I bought last year....turned out to be a good decision. I've heard from people plugged into the real estate market and the consensus has been that prices will continue to rise but eventually level off but no one sees a crash coming like the one in 2008

How do y'all think rents and home costs are rising to begin with? Them units ain't sitting vacant :mjlol:
One of the main drivers of the "great resignation" was people leaving for new jobs and MORE MONEY
Half the country out here thriving and making the most money they ever have.....the other half stagnant and struggling
Both paths lead to hyper inflation
