If looking at Blind salary standard, it seems like people can buy down multiple houses with these price tags. What’s the catch here though? Is it too far away from things like groceries, no fun activities around, too far away from major cities? #housing
The catch is Texas
First, if they re suggesting a 2.99% interest rate, it’s a scam. Second, the trouble with buying these houses is that You have to live in Texas.
Dallas is truly LCOL. But even the "move to Texas" blind bros don't tell you to move to Dallas.
Seattle doesn't even have any cheap shithole exurbs left. Even in Algona/Pacific or Smokey Point a new build house is like 800k+ somehow. At this price point all you can buy is a trailer or some shack on the side of a state highway.

If you have to ask..
People living in CA and WA live in a bubble thinking that high house prices in suburbs are the norm... they arent. Its just nimbyism, high building regulations and bad policies (prop13) that artificially increases prices.
Major cities in TX are not that bad but you will find some crazy sh*t outside of those cities.
Like what ?

This was probably 4-500k at some point. Prices have been falling, especially in Austin. Not sure what comes next…
