Everyone needs to live I get that but why does everyone in the valley accept buying these crap ass decrepit houses at such inflated prices. Even these flip houses or updated houses appear nice but behind the walls are ticking time-bombs with their steel pipes and non-current wiring. Stop being ok with paying 1mil for shit!
This is literally how capitalism works. Only way prices will come down in case of economic depression or slow of growth. Individuals or investors will continue to jack up prices otherwise
Or as a collective, stop being ok with bidding 1mil!
@Seagate - What sort of naive communist logic is this? There is no collective. This is a million-people prisoner's dilemma where 1st guy to buy gets a slightly lower price, assuming prices continue to go up. And supply is very limited because everyone (acting in their own self interest) want a SFH with a white fence.
Speculative profits. Like buying stock in Tesla or Amazon
most of that 1mn is for the land. anything on top of it is a bonus
Does it matter? Don’t drink the rationalization koolaid
Because I was sick of taking it up the butt from ahole landlords.
Get that. But kinda mutually exclusive from how much youre willing to bid for a house.
Think i- 1. pay shitload of money to engineers who know ‘coding’ only 2. No other traditional company will pay that kind of money for creating products which are never profitable ex Tesla Lyft Uber and list goes on 3. Now some of you will say I am FOMO or case of sour grapes but think you are signing up for a life where nothing make sense house pricing demographic around you commute hours
What?
Everyone on here seems to make such a big deal about TC and fighting for every bit of it. Let’s stop giving away such huge percentages of that TC to the banks and long time homeowners!
Op, the folks here aren't all that smart, they are just skilled in an industry that pays a lot today. Others, keep buying, please!
wait real talk am I screwed if I'm 25 and renting in Seattle? I do wanna live here for awhile, or the Bay Area. Both are really amazing places Will I ever be able to buy :(
Fomo!!!
