oh yeah, I forgot some treasury yield got up to where it was 3 years ago which means great depression collapse is going to happen any day now, so he's gonna swoop in like a modern day TRUMP and buy up all the hottest Thailand real estate properties for pennies on the dollar

Yeah I'm saying TT6 is being retarded about housing again. We've gotten used to houses selling in a day but that is certainly not the norm. 14 days is still an insane turn around.

ljl fuck that bullshit.
instead of moving, we did a $150k reno on the house last year and made the basement a functioning living room type space, added like 200 sq feet to the living room by tearing out a screened-in porch, redid the kitchen, and i tore down a detached garage and rebuilt it as a home office.
i also got a 250 gallon reef fish tank in 2023 and i really don't want to have to move that, so that was a factor.
we bought this house when i was a lowly associate at jackson lewis and our HHI was $250k. even then, i shot kinda low on home price ($550k - we were approved for $1 m). our HHI now is like $750k and should be over a million next year. i kinda wish we'd spent more on a nicer house in a bigger neighborhood but whatever. financial freedom is 180. i can walk away from my job anytime i want.

i got into an absolutely infantile fight with my firm's biggest rainmaker over origination credit for Microsoft, and i mean i straight up threatened to quit and go to another firm and the head of my group called me groveling and asking me to please calm down. the rainmaker ended up giving me a 50/50 split and called me to apologize.
when i needed a law partner job, i wouldn't have ever done anything like this. not that this is the biggest deal in the world, but it's nice to just say and do whatever and not really worry about the fallout.

It's crazy how much energy you have even without coke. Pages if screeds when you were irate about that. When you were coked out you must've been a madman. Wish we went to da clurb then.

My BIL bought a new house and moved in May. Tried to sell the old one all summer. I don’t know if he’s just been getting low balls or what but he’s saying he’s just trying to not have to bring a check to closing. All home equity vaporized.

I think they purchased and put 15% down, so it’s a significant sum.
I feel for them. They got good appreciation on their first home and walked away with a small bundle. Home two was a loser, but it sold quickly. Home three is a huge loser. 15 years of homeownership and nothing to show for it. It’s the American way,

home ownership was always fraud, only propped up cause of jew mortgage interest deduction then cap gains exemption. this just created artifical kike market, it never was legit.

prole goy mr fix-it skills are going to become increasingly useful as more and more boomers die and their shithead kids sell off their houses that haven't been updated in 50 years. umc yuppies will continue to overpay for new construction shit and prole goys can find deals on actual nice homes.
not flame went and checked/changed my air filter after seeing this poast. it wasn't even two months since the last one but fuck it. a/c runs hard in the summer.

had an aunt die. went to clean out the house. everything was a mess because of basic incompetence. basement window left open so long vines were growing in. furnace filter that looked like a chia pet. clutter everywhere. dirty dishes everywhere. weird smells.

Yeah they suck too. But most prole goy mr fixit shit can be done with almost zero barrier to entry. One of the few areas the market can actually work because any prole goy with an f150 can compete.

Wow we were actually told for the last home we missed out on that the seller would keep us under contract as a secondary option. Our realtor said she's seen that a few times but never once in 20 years has it actually been invoked. Of course yesterday I got a call saying we're under contract on a house we put an offer in on 2 months ago!
It's a great house. On a nice section of beach that actually gets warm enough people swim. But I think the market is a lot softer than before. Taxes are also insane because it's in the wrong county. I can still back out with an inspection but we'll see.

The Iran war really put a dent in the Spring sale, but ya it still isnt resolved and thats moving rates higher. Anyways, rates are not really going to change much I think. 6-6.5 is prob the norm with 5.5 to 6 being low and 6.5-7 being high.
We just signed a contract. Rate is around 6.5. We bought in 2002 at 7% for reference. I guess we'll just hope to refi in 5 years or so when rates drop. Fingers crossed.
I also did want to sell our primary residence (and the sub 3% rate) so we took out a home equity line on a rental we own outright for the down payment on this water front house we're buying. I'll be managing two rentals. New loan is around 6.5% on that.
It's been a crazy summer. New house is in a much nice school district but all four of our kids went into protest mode when we announced the possible move.

I am only looking at areas less than 10% black and less than 10% hispanic and schools with test scores of 9/10 or higher on niche or whatever that site it.

gay. the home that was on market for 7 days is already pending. Thats 8 days after on market, which means the offer was accepted likely within 3-4 days and a few more days to updated MLS and then update zillow.

"As of Monday, August 31, 2026, the national average 30-year fixed purchase mortgage rate is approximately 6.55% to 6.81% depending on the index and lender marketplace."
I wish 7%+ bro. I'll probably move back to USA in 1-2 years. Hopefully rates stay high

I agree in so far as the only actual solution is for people to simply not participate at all. At least at the Federal level. Different for State & Local IMO.

But you do participate in it insofar that you consent to be governed by it. Abstaining from the political process, but obeying what it decides, only transfers your power to others.

THis is happening in Australia since negative gearing and cgt discount were scrapped. As soon as they stop infinity immigration from turdsville prices will crash 50%.
