    Uh, I’m not playing this. The dude in the preview image looks like some creeper that going to expose himself to some female jogger in the park.

    He will disappoint at least it would have Ben interesting

    Supply and demand. There is nowhere near a sufficient level of supply out there right now. Even if demand dropped by 50% right now there still would not be enough supply available to satisfy the remaining demand and cause a big correction in the market.

    Is there any data on pent up numbers of foreclosures waiting to happen? I haven't heard of anything like that on the horizon. If homeowners aren't at risk of foreclosure I don't see how there's any large-scale increase in supply on the horizon.

    That data is on this board and it isn't pretty

    Pretty low of you to imply that all of the posters here are poor, gas-pumpers and can't afford their mortgages, Race.

    It's around 23 million in some sort of behind payment situation and growing. Renters or owner and of course renters effect owners eventually

    Our Seattle home topped out at 525 K in 2004. Bought it for 90

    Sold in 2011 or 348K

    Paper is paper. It is worth what someone will pay when you want or need to sell

    Right now it is positive. Supply is low and people want to flee to the burbs or another state

    But you really can't ignore what is out there. People thought it was insane to short the "good" mortgage securities in 07 until it made billionaires out of the guys that did

    I'm not rooting for a collapse just learning from history

    I think we're in some sort of a bubble nationally. And the potential for foreclosures data is very much concerning.

    I placed my bet, personally, on more and more people having some sort of virtual hustle and PDX, SEA, SFO, LAX, etc. continuing to suck ass. My market took a 50% haircut in 2008. One of the worst in the US. Could it happen like that again? Sure, anything is possible. More likely I think is 10% to 20% if things got really bad with the US economy as a whole.

    There isn’t any data because, number one, forbearance and number 2, banks don’t want that info out there.

    The major markets are going to get whacked. Might be a good tim to pick something up on the cheap before the occupied Chinese state takes over and the new overlords seek housing (Hi OBK).

    The second tier cities (in the NW, Spokane/CDA, Bend, Missoula, Tri Cities, a little bit of Boise - though that's getting played out) are blowing up. If you can swing a hammer or do anything related to home construction, you'll have as much work as you'd like. It's essentially name your price if you want to see your home.

    We rent a 2007 California special. The worst construction ever

    I don’t know. My 1927 Seattle house was a piece of shit. My 2003 Wakanda house probably is too. At least I live in a desert and there’s only so much water can do to fuck me.

    True Story: Former Cali GC neighbor of mine didn't know how to splice Romex into Knob & Tube.

    He informed me of this after disconnecting every wiring nut in the junction box. Took me about 2 hours to reconnect it all and splice into the proper wires.

    He later built a wall for me without laying out any dimensions, and when it was done, he said, "Okay. Ready to Rock!"

    I tore the whole fucking wall down and rebuilt it after he left. Could not believe the shit quality that hack thought was great.

    "Doesn’t it make better financial sense to wait for rates to rise and pay Much a lower price on the house so you can take advantage of the refi market down the road when rates fall into negative territory?"



    In Hawaii prices will not dip to your target point. I assume it is the same in a few other places. Seattle comes to mind, as well.


    The tequilla version is provided below:

















    Oahu is different because it is an island. You can't move to the suburbs and buy cheaper. Well you can, but it is still not cheap enough.

    Acreage is naturally scarce and there are way too many artificial limits on development.

    Prices occasionally drop but not far and not often. (yes, I've been underwater at one point on all but one of my properties). The cash purchase was never underwater. Go figure.

    The big dip that you are waiting for occurred twenty years ago (or twenty years before that) - likely never to be seen again.

    A lot of creepy rich people have vacation/second homes here which props up prices in what should be down times.

    Makes sense to leverage to the hilt when you have a down payment and buy as much as you can and rent them out to the pours who will eventually move (back) to the mainland because of the cost of living. (you can't ignore the ESPPs or IRAs or 401ks but, do invest the leftovers and bonuses in real estate.)

    Its a good plan until, ya know, a pandemic hits. And renters can't be evicted.

    Might be time to sell or at least consider it.

    As you age equity seems to magically appear.
