LOL a month before the pandemic a brand new house in my neighborhood was selling mid 900’s and I was thinking that it was expensive even though we were looking for a rental in the 1 million range. That same new house today on the market is 1.4 million in a year. 40% in a year.

im not really seeing how it reverses at this point, either.

is the housing market gonna get worse as the country opens up and the econony grows at 8 percent? :dead: i dont see that
More people will move though.

That’s part of the freeze. Only people at the higher pay rates are moving towns or across the country.

Waiting this one out. I moved to BF Pennsylvania two years ago and am seeing flipping activity similar to 2005-2007 that I saw in the DMV. I figure it’s a matter of time.

I don't think this is comparable mainly because the underwriting is on a different level. There are TWO economies today and the ppl buying properties have money to spend hence the bidding wars, etc. This is organic demand. You have a lot of younger couples starting families, or already have kids but want a little more space. Then you have ppl in their 40s doing very well and building new or moving into well off/established neighborhoods. On the multifamily front you have investors going crazy looking for someplace to park their money. They're actually perfectly fine with very conservative returns bc of the tax benefits.

Is this sustainable indefinitely? Definitely not. At some point there will be a "slowdown" but I think it will remain strong through 2022 - mainly because the demand is so high. It will take time for all the people who want a house to actually find it.

the market is so fukked up here in toronto. just for instance, this small semi-detatched house with a weird layout (and a few upgrades here and there, but otherwise all original) on my mom's street just sold for over a million. a few months ago it would've been miracle if they got 800. shyt is wild.

These not the homeowners that’s struggling. It’s the guy that depends on his rent money and ain’t nobody paying.
