|
Date: June 12th, 2016 1:24 PM Author: lake lascivious jap no doubt average market value is up, but "redic" is a bit of an exaggeration. they're on par of about 10% higher than decent homes in any desirable southern city. due to the roped-off nature of the high crime districts, you see a bump for good houses in areas that have some buffer. other than that, nola is overall very affordable in terms of housing. people bitch when they move there because they expect any city in the south to be retardedly cheap, and that's not the case with new orleans. you can still live very well there on an average salary and that would be a fucking joke in a lot of coastal cities.

http://www.nola.com/business/index.ssf/2015/08/new_orleans_home_prices_up_46.html |
|
Date: June 12th, 2016 1:46 PM Author: lake lascivious jap the market has been trending up, definitely. my point is that it's not a ridiculous market. stuff in some neighborhoods is overpriced to a degree, but decent housing in the city is very, very affordable for normal people. again, take a look at home prices in seattle, or fuck, even chicago, in places where you actually want to live and are manageable commutes, then get back to me. having grown up in the south, i can reliably say that southerners are spoiled and don't understand how fucked home prices are on the coasts.
also, they spell the stats out for you in that article:
"Rick Haase, president of Latter & Blum Inc., said the 46 percent figure is skewed by the fact that most of the sales activity is centered on higher-priced neighborhoods, while sales have been limited in traditionally more affordable neighborhoods like eastern New Orleans and the 9th Ward. Those neighborhoods had significantly more transactions before the storm, he said, but were decimated by Katrina."
so basically you have uptown and magazine street and the warehouse district etc driving all this, while the cheapest housing stock was basically wiped out of the market. even then, the average home price is like $330K. that's fucking great. yes your garden district mansion is still out of reach for normal people, but overall it's easy to move to NOLA and actually just buy a decent place to live without endless agony.
housing is like driving: everyone thinks their local situation is so fucked up and crazy. relatively speaking, it's usually just average. nola has a few hot neighborhoods right now and the post-K economy is ticking along. still overall very reasonable for urban living. |
|
Date: June 12th, 2016 2:04 PM Author: supple regret I'm not disagreeing with you.
I understand that relative to an Atlanta housing is relatively cheap but from the perspective of people that have lived there awhile, $350K for 1,500 sq ft (what my house is valued at in Uptown) is relatively expensive compared to 3-5-10 years ago. I felt like I over paid 5 years ago ($250K) so kind of lucked out.
Even now you're looking at $250K even in Central City which is downright scary, literally and figuratively.
|
|
Date: June 12th, 2016 2:35 PM Author: lake lascivious jap all good man, it's just kind of a pet peeve of mine when everyone carps about housing prices. $350K gets you a house in the city, where you want to live. that's great. try to pull that off in seattle or similar cities. it just doesn't exist. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=3250972&forum_id=2#30683432) |
|
Date: June 12th, 2016 4:38 PM Author: supple regret Like I said, I get it. I've lived away in a few other cities before coming back.
But it's a pet peeve of ours too that while relatively speaking prices are relatively low the working poor have been priced out of the city by carpetbaggers who want to capitalize on how cool Treme was.
My parents were very blue collar who never made more than around $80K combined with my mom working a second job at McDonald's for awhile and there's no way they could now afford to live in the city unless we wanted to live in the East or 7th ward.
So yeah, understanding that dream is pretty much dead unless there's another housing bubble is tough to swallow. |
|
Date: June 12th, 2016 5:04 PM Author: bronze hominid Dude New Orleans is still cheap as fuck. You are whining about prices in the hottest neighborhoods basically catching up to what it costs to live in virtually any other decent city in the country. I only lived there a few years, but I just looked on Redfin and everything is about what I expected. It is still the cheapest home prices of a major city I have lived in by a considerable amount.
I get what you're saying about the working poor getting priced out of some areas, but that's just modern life and global capitalism, and New Orleans is not unique in this regard and outlasted many cities in terms of the older neighborhoods not gentrifying out of control. |

|
Date: June 12th, 2016 5:48 PM Author: supple regret Look I'll reiterate for the 3rd time - I get it. It's still relatively cheap.
But I think it'd be a lot more tolerable if the impetus was some sort of boom that helped the entire city (e.g., some kind of tech boom) but it's outside investment targeted towards tourism where the proceeds leave the city (e.g., air bnb) or second homes.
My house appreciated 40% because everyone is making a lot more money now? Sure.
Because some Manhattan-ite wants a Mardi Gras home that he will Air BNB for the rest of the year (true story - )? Not fine.

Real estate in most cities tends to go up over time. That's life, everywhere. It's always a little sad when the neighborhoods really price people out, but this happens everywhere.
