Depends on the market. Here in MA I get cold texts weekly from RE agents asking to "name my price" and my house has appreciated 30% since 2021.

I think a big piece of the housing problem is that there are really not many communities that people want to live in anymore. Many communities that were very livable up until 20 years ago have become overridden with underclass behavior. Geographically they are still very close to or in major cities, but demographically they aren't a place to raise a family.

Don’t be a Boomer?

Are you kidding?

This is all Bourgeois small stakes cannibal capitalism.

Delusional.

Hey Gecko if you were playing house casino roulette after 2008 you’re a delusional scammer anyway.

Get real. You’re coming across like a sub prime broker who is 30 days out of rehab.

I want people to have a home especially young people. I also want old people to be able to die in their one home without the hospital or Medicaid seizure of the home.

As far as House Roulette?

???? Really?

I guess that makes me a commie. Fine. I miss them anyway- the old fashioned AK carrying kind.

As far as being Jim Kramer of the Kitchen Table? No. You’re not.

Settle down and live somewhere. Earn money by … uh… doing something?

Make something?

Fix something?

Or fsck it go gamble, but don’t kid yourself you’re “investing” or some nonsense.

That’s a full time job.

Homestead for real, plant a tree - no you, not the Mexican. You won’t see the tree grow to full height probably. That’s not the point.

XOR go gamble and tell yourself you’re a player. Commit to something, even ruin, will you?

Perfectly sensible.

Doesn’t matter.

They’re coming.

Zeitgeist seems to be against sellers. This may be anecdotal, but I am seeing viral videos on every platform about bad inspections and poor build quality. I already own a home, so the algorithm isn’t targeting me.

One might think by reading this that Boomers are evil, when it is really Henry NEEDING to blame anyone except himself for the predicament he is in.

It is weak and lazy. But necessary for him.

Continue the divide. The strategy has worked so well for us all. Right?

The fake divide is again perpetuated. I have never been on a cruise, except for my Navy days.

“According to the Cruise Lines International Association (CLIA)’s 2016 Cruise Review, the average age of UK cruise passengers had dropped by almost a full year to be just over 55, the lowest figure in six years, and internationally the average age has fallen to 46, the lowest it’s been in 20 years.”

They think GenX are boomers. Hell, they seem to think anyone that spent their entire lives building a life is evil.
