And Wyvern, I might be ornery, but I'm not stupid. Apart from you insulting my wife, I would never fist-fight a person of your, ummmmmm, "temperament"

I still help load after it is cut, and hand up from wagons, but I last held a knife and spear 30 years ago, and got in the rails 10 years ago. Never Again!!
Apartment complexes are popping up everywhere in Louisville. Is the city population growing that fast or are more people renting?
We're going through the pre-approval process on a multi-generational/multi-family home. Already spoke with a few builders. The prices is going to be astronomical, but so is buying a pre-existing home. Many sellers have stated that homes with in-law suites are in highest demand. It sounds crazy, but I just cant fathom buying a first/second "size" home, for the prices now, only to inevitable grow out of it in 5-10 years. Makes sense to spend another 35-40%, sell my moms house, build her an inlaw suite, and that way we can take care of her as she ages, we get some childcare out of it, and we have a home that we never have to leave. It's insane to even write this and think about it.. but that's where we are in 2022.
The crazy part is that builders are charging more for lots that are just one or two towns over, and it isn't like one area is noticeable "better" than the other. One of their developments is $50k added onto the base cost of the house, right off the bat. They've had to resort to a lottery system, as potential buyers were showing up to the lots a day in advanced, and sleeping in their cars overnight just to secure the lot they wanted first thing in the am.
Albany NY, which is really considered the "Capital District", comprises of 3 cities about 20 minutes from each other. and the suburbs between them and around them.. Median homes are showing as $220,000.. but that's including a heck of a lot of urban housing and duplexes. There is no way a family of four is getting a house in the suburbs for under $400,000.. and from my searches, it's more like $450 to $500k if you want the good school district/house with no work needed/ etc.
Just dont know how this is sustaniable. Is this the new norm for society? More corporations and investors buying property, while the middle class is stuck renting for life as their salaries struggle to cover rising rents? As someone alluded to above, you're going to put the middle/lower class in a tough spot where they might eventually say "enough is enough".

Yes
They were large logs felled in September of 1839, hence 200 year old trees.
The cabin was about 400 yards from Logan’s Fort.
The hope was (independent of the litigation) that they were logs recycled from Logan’s Fort, of 1775.
No cigar on that one !!
Curiously, did you see this in the press, or given your occupation, encounter it through work/Court appearance(s)?
im just glad to know im not the only person who has cut tobacco.
Yeah I would be interested in what they define as vacant for this count before I analyze it. I hate articles like this that throw a bunch of numbers around without defining what they are counting. As a data analyst it is very frustrating.
There were times it felt like that was it. For the entire state.There are two of you.
It is important, but I was surprised to see Florida was higher than Texas. The reo bubble in Texas has been ready to burst for years, but the banks haven't been putting them on the market.
I think the banks are driving the available housing shortage that has driven the prices up everywhere so they can get more for what they do slowly release. When people tried to do this with metals (hoarding to create a perceived shortage) they were arrested and their stockpiles confiscated. No one does this with banks or the diamond industry, however.
To be fair, if they did dump them all onto the market, values would plummet and banks all over the big cities would have reo and mortgaged houses that weren't worth what was loaned against them.
It IS driving us toward feudalism if something isn't done about it. No way anyone will be able to afford a decent sized home soon unless they are making 250k per year as a family. We're at Jimmy Carter levels of inflation and effective cost of living vs wages
Had someone show me a TikTok guy who does daily videos showing the most expensive and least expensive homes sold in Los Angeles county that day.
The typical high is a few million for a Mcmansion, about what you would expect.
The cheapest is the interesting one. I looked at several, and most were either way east in the hills or in the absolute worst crime area possible and are actual crack houses. None are in livable condition, all look like the best option is to demo and rebuild. The lowest I saw was 310k with most pushing half a million.
I know it’s a pricey area at any time, but that bottom rung of the ladder is way up there.

We're getting ready to sell my father's house in Alexandria (Campbell County).
When we first met with the realtor back in Dec, she made some suggestions to make it more marketable... and she thought it might sell for $305m.
It will be listed next week at $380m... thats how much the market has moved.

Just saw comps on a property today that blew my mind. Cost per square ft on a house I was looking to possibly buy last year went from $140-150/Sq ft to $175-215/Sq ft. In just 9 mos
He clearly stated it will be for 380 million
thank y’all for commenting -
