When we built our starter-home, 3BR/2BA house in Charlotte, we struggled at the $100k+ price point.  Zillow currently has its "Zestimate" around $350k.  It has a reasonable, accessible location -- but couldn't imagine it going for more than $250k.

And there's the problem. Wages have barely moved yet housing costs have skyrocketed. They're trying to turn us into a nation of renters. It's been that way in the urban market for decades but now it's spreading to the suburban markets and even starting to show up in rural markets.

This is from 2020 data.   The takeaway is that some metro areas will be better to BUY in any given market, while others would be better to RENT at that moment in time.   And this is a sliding scale, subject to change based on local market conditions.

Generically speaking, buying becomes cheaper than renting if you're aiming for a timeframe of more than 5 years.

We came back from overseas in 2009 as the housing market crashed. So we got the first time buyers credit of $8,000. Bought a house for less than the last sale. Aggressively paid it off and then it doubles in price. That's just pure luck. Anyone who bought a few years ago is really lucky. 

I feel like this will be where one of my kids live because housing is out of reach.

The rates should have been creeping up since 09, but because of bad policy, our economy has not been able to withstand that increase....so here we are...inflation city, and we need to blast rates up to slow the inflation.

Stupid Politicians.

Either way, with so many purchasing over the past 9 years, and at good rates, I think we see a slowing of the market....a lot...but not homes falling in price, at least not like 07-11.

Obviously location is key there.

House went up $5k today. Not sustainable...

Hahahaha, not until you sign on the line that is dotted...LOL.

It's going to change in the 3rd Q if I had to guess...like I said, maybe pricing doesn't fall, but the selling will slow down.

Offers seem to be slowing but the ones that come in are still super competitive (well over list). Good agents will soon catch on that their buyers are only competing with 3 or 4 other buyers instead of 20 or more this time last year.

All true. Today I’m sure we would get 100k over Zillow based on how other homes have sold. But we never treated this as an investment. We will likely never move.

If the agent is good, they know what's going on already.  Most aren't though...the good one's make most of the money though.

Yea, this home is my Alamo.  I don't plan to live here forever, but I'll likely never sell it.

I plan to build at some point...I'll be the GC, not today though.

This is Denver and not Charlotte but...

House in the neighborhood with the same floor plan and a slightly bigger yard hit the market 3 weeks ago for 230K over what we paid.  Closed at 140k over list in 10 days.

That's getting in the range of 2x for us.

 

We gotta get out of this house.  Not doing so at this point is financially irresponsible.

We own a house down in the Springs. Our home is in roughly the same position. A house on our street with a lesser floor plan and less upgrades just closed at 600k after being on the market for 550k for two days. That is also in the range of almost 2x what we paid as well. We are currently weighing the options of selling versus continuing to hold it as a rental property until we retire from the Air Force.

      My Personal Takeaway from This Game vs Cheifs

      By Hoenheim · Posted

      What I really learned here is that the Carolina Panthers aren't anywhere near as bad as I initially thought they were earlier this year.  We've got a young and growing offense with some promising parts. But it still needs some tweaks and improvements.  We really still could still use a dominant #1 WR. But Chubba,  Legette, Coker,  and J.Sanders have generally looked decent. Bryce took a big leap after the benching. We can score enough points to keep pace with 2x defending super bowl champions, so offense isn't a huge issue. Main thing that needs improvement is defense. We sorely need a CB 2, and a number of new players at Dline and LB.  We're not quite as bad at edge with Wonnum showing promise.  But we definitely need 1 or 2 more edges Clowney is old.  Run D is probably worse prevailing theme these past couple years. We really need a good young stud or two to pair with Derrick Brown and another LB to pair up with Trevin Wallace. If Morgan and Canales can focus on rebuilding the defense this off-season and possibly going out and getting a #1 WR. This team could easily be somewhere around 7-10 to 10-7 and flirting with playoffs in 1 or 2 seasons. Overall this game has made me feel alot more positive about the direction of the team.

      Team is looking good for next season

      With our picks we need pass rush, lb, Safety, a speedster yac wr, o line depth and I still want a mid round qb. We got 9 picks and 8 in the first 5 rounds. If they pull Off another solid draft we be cooking.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By frankw · Posted

      We had one passing touchdown against the Giants and one passing touchdown against the Chiefs today. Yes a good backup can replicate that. And that is why Andy Dalton in significantly less games has the same number of 30 point outings as Bryce Young. I am on board with you guys about wanting to be hopeful for the future. Today was a good performance to build on especially at home. But let's please keep things in perspective. BTW the Bucs who honestly aren't even that good blew the doors off the Giants today after we went to overtime against them with 17 points. Again. Perspective.
