With the growth Seattle is seeing, the cost of living in Ca driving people out, the tech industry clumpimg in tech hubs, and the city-state becoming more prominent, I don't see how their could be a readjustment any time soon. If something happened to one of the big employers, the businesses decide to cut costs and move to other states, or the population decides to re-suburbanize because cities are too crowded, then I could see a crash coming to the area.

The jobs move is already underway and will likely expand. They're using Trump as their public excuse. https://www.google.com/amp/www.geekwire ... anada/amp/ The real reason will likely be new taxes and regulations from Olympia or via initiative. _________________ If you vote for Biden you are voting to be murdered when he sends Beto to come take your "semi automatic assault weapon" (any semi auto).

What I do know is that I got raped on my property taxes this year. They went up almost $800, and now I'm paying just under $4500 a year.

I am moving soon, and everyone in the industry has advised me to sell vs. rent. Everyone agrees we're at a mini-top right now.

Yup. See the areas on the map were people are leaving? Chicago, LA, Detroit. All crime havens.

Our property has seen a ~120 percent increase in the last 15 years. We're giving it one more year and we're the **** out of this shit state.

I'm thinking of moving to N Charleston, SC after my oldest graduates HS this year.
Houses are cheap, and the jobs pay well (Boeing is always hiring). My sister and her husband just had a new 2 story house built to their specs in a nice development for about $240K. _________________ NRA Endowment Member. How did they know my member was well endowed? |

You know the housing market is high when you can buy land and build a home much cheaper than you can buy a home on the market. We are looking into building a new home on some land which will save us $150-$200k for similar size home and acreage. I believe this is why you're seeing builders popping up new homes everywhere and making a killing as the raw land is fairly stable.

We bought our place in 2010 for $330K (short sale). 3100sq/ft and 5.5acres. Recently appraised at $600K. We'll ride it out for a few more years and wait for the next bubble before we would consider selling.

I juet went through tbis whole ordeal. Indians own almost aml rights to any new well, and none are allowed. Pretty tough, or very expensive to build on land right now. _________________ Looking for: S&W Schofield 2x (.38/357) Coonan 1911 Nemo Omen JM Marlin 39M Tikka T3 Tactical(.308) BAR(.308) |

New 3500 square foot houses on 5000 square foot lots are selling one block over for me stating in the mid 400's. Fuck that.

It's crazy! I bought my house in Everett in 2011 for 208k$ and I am selling for 357k$ after only painting it and putting in a new front door. We have a rental already lined up for 2 years while a buddy teaches over seas. Now it's a matter of buying and building or waiting and just buying. For me it just timed up this way but I am constantly looking for homes and land to see what is even worth it.

I was talking to a guy the other day who is retired and has a winter home in Sun City and a summer home in Prescott Valley. He has piqued my interest in the area.

Its bat shit crazy. There was a 4 house mini development built by my daughters school in Des Moines that each sold for $680k+. The houses were beautiful, but again built on lots barely bigger than the house. Couldn't do it _________________ Yes I Do Have A Beautiful Daughter.. I Also Have A Gun, A Shovel, & An Alibi |
