Crazy that you could work 40 hours a week at a bullshit job and buy a house in a decent area. Now maybe you could buy a lift shack sized shed with no electricity for 2 mil. Deals on deals.

Sigh. The house I grew up in my parents bought on a single income carpenters salary when I was a little kid is now worth like 1.7 million dollars. That’s not even considered good around here they couldn’t move anywhere that isn’t way out of King County. My wife and I both work full time in professional gigs and we are dead fucking broke putting two little kids in daycare writing a 4500 dollar check each month on top of the mortgage just to be able to have someone watch my children so I can go to work it’s so god damn backwards. You just have to work for Microsoft or Amazon out here to even be able to compete or your fucked there’s no reason to stay out here and slowly drown in the inflation.

WHY? Someone actually bought it for nearly $1000/sq ft lol and now trying to double their investment. The neighbors better be world leaders for that price ratio

This looks like a possibility. Me and my wife might check it out. We live in Boston but we've been looking to buy another house to add to our vacation rental portfolio. We only have 1 other lake house. I think something around here could be a good fit for airbnb.

It would be cool to buy a block of homes on the same lake too. That's a pretty steep asking price but if we charge enough on the rentals we should be able to make it back in a few years.

We really love it up that way. We only get up near there once a year because we're so busy in the city but it's so pretty.

Yeah it's fucked. Greenwater just went wild the last few years. With the increased crowds increase in people trying to live closer. Now woth Crystal bull dozing housing it should be interesting to find somewhere to rent. Currently all their eggs are in the basket of a summer church camp not built for winter where they've been shoving some people the last 2 seasons. That shit hole might have to house everyone. Praise jesus!

Idk. Everythings going crazy these days. Seems everywhere is out of reach for most people.

After moving back across the country to buy a place in manhattan and getting bought out by cash offers for pied a terres at every fucking turn, I will be moving to the west coast for the second time.

For fun, here’s what 7 mil will get you in the city (vertigo with a view)

Why don’t you just wait 2-3 years for the full effect of joejoes bizarre adventure to fully hit the housing market and buy at record lows. But I guess the money printer can and will go brrr one last time before this act comes to a close.

I've never been a huge fan, a little too far from everything and it's a huge tourist trap imo.

After living in SF, Boston, Denver, San Diego, and Fort Collins.. we have loved living far from everything. My wife works as a biologist in the park and I work remote so it's been fantastic for us. The town itself is a massive tourist trap sure, but we spend 90% of our free time fucking around in the mountains and avoiding people.

Skiing every day from our backyard is also a benefit.

We still drive into Denver every once in a while with no issue - we had season tickets at the Avalanche last season.

It's not for everyone but its for sure for us. We contemplated summit county but that was way too much of a tourist trap in the winter while estes park is dead.

As someone that has made a living working at hedge and private equity funds, anyone believing they can time the market is a clown.

yield curve: inverted
Inflation: out of control
energy prices: sorry putlers fault
zestimate: falling
quantitative tapering: engaged
Europe: shambles
ww3: looming

Its happening sooner rather than later and you really don’t wanna be stuck with the “bank lien” conditional on your personal NFT ID after we switch to the new system.

Cool house design project very important! I created a similar project for a real estate agency using virtual furniture removal and my clients were amazed. This method allows me to showcase the potential of any space, making the design stand out and impress everyone who sees it.
