Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
Sorta tongue in cheek.
The house we bought Summer 2019 was a little more than we wanted to spend, but we’re happy we bought it.
Current estimates today are 40% higher than we paid, actual home sales in my neighborhood confirm we could definitely get that much if not more based on actual current comps. [Our old house up north has not appreciated nearly as much, good for us - but speaks to actual affordability]
So if we were relocating today, there is NO WAY we’d look at this house or this neighborhood!
I am sure there are others here with even more extreme cases, hence the thread.
We don’t plan to sell so no issue, but it is an odd thought, we really wouldn’t buy this house at this price today.
But if we’re in a housing bubble (probably) it’ll be affordable again one day (soon).
