Santa Cruz mentioned.
“Its panic buying of real estate.”
These low interest rates are coming to an end, slowly for the next year, then faster. People with equity in their current homes like what they are seeing. If the market crashes, so what? It going to crash at both locations, might as we be living where you want to live. I’ve been through 3 real estate crashes and made money off them all.
I thought the Beltway traffic was unbearable 25 years ago.
I spent my winters working for Ski Schweitzer, I loved it! I still have my Ski Schweitzer jacket my old boss gave me when I moved to Oregon. His name was Jack Armstrong. When I was introduced to him I said “Jack Armstrong, all-American boy!” He laughed, but he and I were the only ones who knew what I meant.
I loved working for Schweitzer!
“Austin has Southern California-level real estate prices.”
Kansas and West Virginia don’t. Now why would that be?
Poor Floridian, I’d like to buy your big tree to adorn my new mansion:
It is actually a very bad practice since trees should have complete root systems to withstand hurricanes.
Can people just stay put...damn, they are about to ruin the beautiful Coeur d’Alene.
Blacksburg, Va. Our house value went from $380k to $436k during the pandemic. We paid $189k for it 22 years earlier. We sold it without listing it. Full price. They don’t even list houses now unless they want a bidding war or it needs too much work.
We moved to a small town in the county west and now it is happening here. People want to get away from high crime/riot areas.
We looked at Princeton and Bluefield. There some great bargains there.
We moved to CDA almost two years ago. Since Covid it has become a zoo. Long time locals are pissed and rightly so.
My area in SW Washington is getting filled with people fleeing Portland, OR.
St Floydsburg...
Yep. Now we need to erect signs “Do not antifize [your state here]” or “Do not BLM [your state here].”
We’ve got five ski resorts within an hour of us and Schweitzer is by far the best. The views on clear days are incredible!
It must have been a blast working there.
No income tax or sales tax in New Hampshire. That may be a draw.
The rapidly rising real estate prices are killing the locals because property taxes are set as a fraction of assessed value. New house sales set the assessed value.
It’s an old and very sad story of how real estate appreciation drives existing locals out because they cannot afford the taxes. Thank God the California Jarvis-Gann Prop 13 put a stop to that horrendous thing.
#10 is a puzzler. Why move to Santa Cruz to escape liberalism? It’s Berkeley-By-The-Sea.
CdA had WAY, WAY too many Biden-Harris yard signs last fall. I was really dismayed by that.
You typically found them either in front of mansions or run-down dumps.
I've heard from Idaho-ans that Coeur D'Alene is really beautiful. But man those winters!
