Will seattle housing price exceed the bay?
With all big tech expanding in Seattle, would it surpass the bay for housing prices? The Bay Area has a lot more land and much better road & public transit than seattle, therefore people can live far out so house supply is a lot more abundant than seattle. Seattle has limited land, and no public transit like cal train, and downtown parking is very restricted, therefore people have to live closer to downtown, limiting housing supply. With all the high TC tech people flooding into seattle, would the housing price 🚀🚀🚀?
Are you stupid or just high?
Are you a jerk or an imbecile?
Not a chance. Seattle housing can and will likely continue to appreciate but WA doesn't have a cap on propety taxes like CA does so will never get as crazy as there is no incentive. WA could also implement this but reducing taxes or adding income tax in wa seems very unlikely.
You get 3 months of good weather in Seattle per year and you think it’ll surpass Bay Area prices? Never going to happen.
People have been saying this since 90s. Surely Seattle has great tech but Bay Area is also home to a lot of startups. A lot of people are in California also due to weather. My family surely won’t like to move to WA just because of all the 🌧 and gloomy weather. For example it was 70 degrees and sunny for most of January in the afternoons when I went out this year in the valley.
I hate Seattle, but I make 20% more TC in seattle than CA because no taxes and I pay less in rent, that’s why a lot of people will go to seattle. Also in 90s Bay Area houses were actually affordable
But you would pay more in wa if you owned a house which is why it won't ever happen.
Seattle has no income tax so I'd assume prices can exceed ca by that percentage
Obviously nothing can beat the Bay Area - Seattle is up and coming but has 1/10th the industry of Bay Area
There is a lot more empty land around Seattle than in Palo Alto.
Another poll on a pointless pissing context
