Its an odd post, why are you asking people to bash you? I think you know that you’ve generated a strawman argument when you talk about a “normal” market in California.
My realistic scenario is that I’ve owned two homes before (in Texas and in DC) and the market out here is absolutely crazy in comparison. I rent a place for 2400 (a 3/2). A 2/2 in the same complex just sold for over 600,000 and the HOAs have gone up to $500/month. Please do the math there and tell me why I would buy in the current market.
