Participant“So I don’t mind losing 100k or so in equity if we find the right house with the right options.”
So you are willing to give the seller a gift of 100k for convenience (not having to look harder for “the right house with the right options” AT THE RIGHT PRICE)?
Since you are giving money away for the sake of convenience, I’ll run errands for you for a mere 25k.

ParticipantI love this line:
“Price values have gone up so much it’s so hard for somebody to qualify for a house,” he says. “They need extra help.”
Huh? Maybe for low income, but prices will fall to meet middle incomes, like this couple’s. This is not a charity case.
Or this:
“They held to their traditional values – they each wanted to stay living with their parents until they married.
Saving money was a big part of their decision.
‘I didn’t really feel like paying rent so why leave?’ Brayden says.”
Gee, he didn’t “feel like” paying rent. So he mooches off his family. What do “traditional values” have to do with that? And as Rustico pointed out, with $90k income and no or low living expenses they still couldn’t save any money.
Excuse me while I go vomit.

ParticipantMy rent has gone up $0 for three years.
Why would I want to buy again?

ParticipantFrom this thread it’s obvious which posters are p-whipped and which aren’t.

ParticipantA return to fundamentals (which I think is unavoidable eventually) will result in what could be termed a bloodbath (is it just the word you don’t like?).
Folks on the sidelines may be hoping for the drop in price in order for them to have a buying opportunity. Homeowners who really can’t afford their place will be hurt. Too bad.
Sorry we’re not all as compassionate as you.

ParticipantNever said you were bitter but there are plenty on the board who are wishing the worst for people.
That’s a bunch of crap. I’ve seen no posts “wishing the worst for people”.
There’s a difference between wishing someone ill and expecting and betting on a return to economic sanity in the local real estate market.
That difference must be beyond your comprehension.
