"There is no housing bubble."
Do you own a house? If you believe there's a "housing bubble", you shouldn't. You should sell as quickly as possible at whatever price you can get. That is, if you actually believe what you're saying.
Ex-Texan, if you didn't come across like Charlie Brown, awaiting the Great Pumpkin, you might find that you'd receive less ridicule. As far as repetition, it's you who has a deepseated need to reassure yourself that "there IS a housing bubble, there IS a housing bubble," complete with links to your own website, or better yet, a blog supported by Google Ads, advertising houses for sale in Portland.
Oh, and the "keyword victim" thing is rather transparent, too.
"Just keep repeating to yourself over and over again:
"There is no housing bubble."
I am selling a home in a Charleston SC suburb. Last year the areas homes were selling 10% less than today but in a matter of days from being listed.
We accepted a bid after 4 weeks on the market and $2k less than we listed. I am quite happy with the process so far. My only concern is in the long wait till an early June closing. That gets us into the summer storm season.
When this is complete, we are selling our primary residence in Maine (and fleeing the high taxes). We will be lucky if we get this place on the market before the end of July. While prices have not fallen here, sales have slowed to the point that sales take months, sometimes many. I will be amazed if we get what we ask or if it sells much before Christmas.
There is one in California and in DC. My brother-in-law in Lansing reports sales are way down. Obviously real estate prices can't continue to go up forever. But will this affect markets like DFW which have never had high prices?
