LOL.
I was just back on sdlookup in several zip codes today. Your tongue-in-cheek statement supports my argument that there is plenty of inventory out there to buy. This leads me to the conclusion that buyers who are complaining about lack of inventory are either too picky and/or want to buy into an area at a deeper discount than the sellers in it are willing or able to sell at.
There are areas in SD County for buyers in ALL price ranges. The caveat is that a prospective buyer has to be willing to accept what is on offer in their price range. The days of buying RE which is a few notches up one’s actual current “station in life” are gone.
