There are some out there, .like Missouri, Alabama, Oklahoma, etc.. may not be ideal, but isn't home where the family is located.
Young people can afford to take risks in terms of living in new places.

I know the price is high. But that's over 2k square feet and 1/4 acre.

Adrielle

1/4 acre is a big deal now

RealSimsShadY

Inflation, It’s a real thing

Real estate bubbles popping. It's a real thing.

It's going to do so.. despite what some say in that industry

byukarl

I think the foreclosure moratorium ending might be the trigger

I guess if you are going to sell you better do it right now

byukarl

4/7/21 3:02pm

What's going to pop? The loans are good this time. There's no bubble.

Shore10

not allowing foreclosures and DTI ratios are skyrocketing

byukarl

4/7/21 3:11pm

High DTI ratio doesn't bother people. It's the new norm.

Shore10

4/7/21 6:34pm

There are many reasons for bubbles. The tricky thing is that no one knows what really caused it until they pop. It was

I think the big difference this time will be the smaller homes, condo's/townhms,

This is my thinking as well. The low supply is ridiculous. Any time any open

Real Estate ALWAYS goes in cycles, some bigger than others. Been doing

I don't even think inflation has kicked in yet. It's going to be extremely ugly.

Shore10

4/7/21 3:09pm

Exactly. It is just inflation.

septicpumper

4/7/21 6:19pm

It's not just inflation. It's also a mass migration from the coasts.

Maybe it is time to move to Missouri

byukarl

4/7/21 2:36pm

Just wait until we all have to go East. Maybe we should buy now.

Captain Rex

4/7/21 4:47pm

Yeah, but Cameron MO is a nasty place. 😉

That’s an argument for me to stick with the general area I’m in...

This makes me so sad... Affording places is difficult.

Yes but many careers you have to live near bigger cities. Sure young people can

Jay_L

4/7/21 2:53pm

lot more work from home positions at big companies.. maybe that will continue

byukarl

4/7/21 3:03pm

I certainly hope so but it could happen that old habits die hard and people just

Jay_L

4/7/21 3:05pm

Ugh. Here's what you get in Vegas for the same price.

Archaea

4/7/21 2:43pm

geeze, even in Vegas much better value then Utah..

byukarl

4/7/21 2:44pm

Yeah, but you have to live in Vegas. Ick.

RockyBalboa

4/7/21 2:51pm

True.. but dang man.. that house in the OP is a piece of crap

byukarl

4/7/21 3:03pm

Vegas is far better than Utah. Utah has great nature, lousy society.

Archaea

4/9/21 11:48am

We're both biased for obvious reasons. My feelings are Vegas

RockyBalboa

byujacob

no chance I would buy that home, it's in an area that has flooded

Cougero

4/7/21 3:21pm

That's not even that nice a neighborhood compared to some area's in Salt Lake Co

byukarl

4/7/21 2:46pm

5 bedrooms and 3 baths? That house must have walls very close to each other.

Lance71

4/7/21 2:48pm

That prob goes 1.8m in San Jose

Way more. Just sold moms house in South San Jose, 1800 sf fixer upper, 4 bed 3

I'd tell you guys to sell and move here but dang it, too many of y'all already

Corn Pop

Here's what that price range gets you in my neck of the woods

BYUMizzou

BYUMizzou

4/7/21 3:27pm

Or 50-100 acres in Tennessee with a decent house for $350k

cougar95
