That seems in line with inflation.

Is that a duplex or something or just a weird addition? It looks like two houses.

That isn't really all that :impressive: as far as appreciation goes, IMO. Basically inflation... my house that is now stupidly worth $400K would've been ~$100K-ish 10 years ago.

It is definitely geographical market based. My house in the blessed lands has only appreciated 5% in 10 years...... appraisal wise.... I'm not sure what it would go for, real world, right now. But I wouldn't expect an increase of any more than 10-15%

All week long I knew what day it was, and then briefly last night before getting in bed I had the thought that “Saturday is two days away”, so I was sad waking up this morning remembering today is Saturday and not Friday :(

Tonight may be a caffeinated pre workout night if my brain is still wonky when I get home from work.

I feel really fatigued today for no real reason. Having trouble finding motivation to get my office workout routine in. Weird day.

Wow so I found out why the "texas" based company is reaching out to me. They purchased one of our main competitors 3 weeks ago... and likely are looking to head their new finance department/integration etc. The company that was purchased is so cal based... The plot thickens. Interviewing with them tomorrow 8Am as the dude is based in the UK.

YaY world wide company BS FTW.

These small wads of cash aren't anything significant in the grand scheme of things. $1400 checks aren't going to help someone who couldn't afford a house before, afford one now.
That’s not the stimmy. The stimmy is small businesses that took advantage of PPP some also got fraudulent loans that far exceeded their true operating costs and plenty getting it forgiven. That was like 50-60% of where the money went.

The $1400/2000 $600 checks whatever don’t do much because they targeted those who can’t really afford a house (sub 75k) annually crowd.

That said a good portion is urban Exodus for sure. A lot of city dwellers who rented now bought in the burbs. Certainly happened here
This isn't going to last. You think Brogrammers want to live forever in suburban bliss? I don't. They want to get back to washing down a ham and cheese crepe with a Chimay while listening to that live music at the corner bar ogling hot AZNs as quickly as possible.

They're just going to bring that shit with them. There's already talk in Traverse City about how to keep the bar scene calm. Apparently opening up indoor service has brought out all the idiots that moved here from out of state and things are getting routy.

:popcorn: for me.

You described a perfect day drinking activity minus the type of beer. :wub:

Will it last? I don't know... but it will be slow AF to return. My county is still CLOSED. Based on the future direction most companies are headed... I don't think "city centers" are going to get vibrant for another 5+ years. And once the working man leaves the city center... we all know what happens.
