We paid $154k for our house 2.5 years ago. This house is 3 doors down from us and has been for sale for over a month, was asking $175k and reduced to 170k so far:

It's almost completely identical to ours inside and out and sold for $149k when it was brand new in 2006. ZERO gain in 11 years. That's the market here, completely flat.
Bigger/better house for sale 2 more doors down on our street for less money, been on the market since May and asking has gone down from $189k to $164k:

Here's what land is worth, the best lot in the neighborhood has been for sale off and on for years for next to nothing. 10k sq ft with no hills right on the corner, perfect spot, $16k asking and could probably get it for half that.

lawl. We in that great poverty swap. The BR krewe is all about the same in housing debt, other than since he hardmax225 wrote: ↑Fri Aug 18, 2017 4:41 pm Outside of it seems like most here are around 500-700k for a house/rowhouse/condo in a nice area... which is a LOT.
I know seattle ain't cheap no mo... and Jew York is pricy as fuck also...
Considering the "incomes" here it really doesn't seem that esssspensive here.
Im unimpressed with the house market here in BR. The great problem is they will always expand out on cheaper land and build mainly sub/par housing at 2k sqft with 3bd/2bt. That has kept prices fairly stagnate. THe flood also fucked with the market a good bit.
Our hood is about 40 yrs old and has MAYBE gone from 80-100k in 1980 to MAYBE 180-200k in 2017. Zillow has gone from 180k to 265k then leveled at a realistic 230k for our house. SO its region pricing metric is a bit skewed since there are more 300-500k houses in the same zip code.
not really. But I have seen some epic car collections around here parked outside a trailer (mobile home).
This one house always made me laugh, while riding the bus as a kid. HUGE trailer park, with this in the middle. Guy always have several vettes.

I mean, look around the hood. Its a meth paradise, sketchy and yet there is the one house that is nearly in a bad gaudy look at me way.
Dude fence/brick cost more than most the trailers in the hood.

It wasn't very telling... there are some areas that had little/no decline I am not in such an area... my place lost 60% of the value... vs that average there. Also you couldn't even sell at the time, since no one was buying... 10-15 houses for sale in my area vs 1-2 now.[user not found] wrote: ↑Mon Aug 21, 2017 8:00 pmThis tells me you need to stay in. Even in the .com bust it only lost 10% which would correct it by... 6 months?max225 wrote:
This is the most important graph for me at the moment.
The 2008 bust was a reaction to the rest of the country and not anything locally.
Fuck that market.
