It's a new paradigm, and everybody who doesn't buy, now, will be priced out forever. Anybody who does buy will be rewarded with a lifetime of riches, as their property will continue its 30% yearly price increase.

Renters, and anybody born in a future generation, will not be able to afford a $15,000,000 starter home in 15 years. They will live in tent cities, and Hondas.

This asset bubble is different than all of the others - it will never slow down, or pop. The gains are permanent.

The goal of the US government is to have 1 billion people in yh US. We're at 350 million at the moment.

It's more likely these types will congregate in large city condos instead of the huge mcmansions that are popular with millennials. Tastes and real estate consumption will change as families continue fragmenting and people stay single and childless.

The plummeting TFR rate, more construction and rezoning for higher density, and the dwindling savings of many Americans says yes.

What says no is:

The plummeting marriage rate means more housing necessary because two people who would have been a couple in previous generations and live in the same place now require two housing units

America is open to large scale immigration

Inflation may be permanent as long as gov uses the money printer to avoid recession. I expect this to increase to inflate away debt as well.

Intriguing re Marin. Marin prices have fallen relative to other areas in the Bay region. Perhaps fallen is the wrong word but they were substantially out-appreciated by the Peninsula so areas on the Peninsula that were cheaper than Marin in the 1980s are now more expensive. Substantially. Etc.

The other factor right now is how irrational and frothy the market got when the rates were super low. Eg Austin sfh prices have collapsed like 30+% but in LA where people were mostly leaving/selling during the pandemic the prices are basically flat or only slightly down. The real question today is how many would be buyers are sitting on the sidelines either because they are priced out by these mortgage rates or they are able to wait for rates to drop and for more inventory. It’s hard to say for sure but it does seem like there are a ton of people who will get in once the rates drop. Like everyone I know ages 27-35 or so is angry as fuck that they can’t afford to buy a house and/or can’t find a house worth buying.

Another factor to consider is we're quickly approaching a time where the elderly are rich as fuck and don't have that many kids. There are going to be A LOT of people inheriting $500,000 to $5 million in the coming years.

Supply is going to stay low because so many people are locked into their interest rates and won't sell.

So if you're bidding on houses, there's a decent chance there's going to be another bidder whose boomer parents just died and left them $750,000 in cash (because they were a nurse but they bought a house in California for $20,000 and they invested in a 401k that had 10% gains for 40+ years).

lol this is at least a novel variant of XO net worth flame. Among olds, 5 million is about the 95% percentile of househeld wealth and even just half a million is around 65%. Relatively few people will leave their entire estate to one person-- either there's multiple kids or they'll cut in some charities/friends, etc. There might be some people inheriting $500,000 to $5 million in the coming years, but "A LOT" is really stretching it.

I think your own logic sort of defeats this.

By your own account, about half of boomers have $500,000 right now. Factor in that half of the country are poormos who are not in the real estate market at all.

If you're in the middle class, there's a good chance a decent chunk of money is coming your way. If you're in the upper middle class, there's a good chance a sizeable amount of money is coming your ways.

Who do you think you're competing with when you're trying to a buy a house?
