Work from home. So people are moving out of bigger cities and living where they want.

Building materials have skyrocketed.  Low interest rates.  You have a seller's market right now and building costs for new homes are driving up costs.  

4x8 sheet of OSB which should be around $10 bucks right now is up around $30.  Was going to build a storage area, but on hold until prices go down.  No hurry.

Lumber prices across the board are through the roof right now, in excess of 300% in many cases. An 8' stud normally goes for $2.69 is over $6.00 right now. Builders can't afford new construction right now because what was a $200k house last year is now a $500k house and it'll never sell at that price. Hence, all the inventory is either older new construction that's been on the market for a while or it's existing inventory.

I'm not in that industry and on no timeline for my little project, but that can't be sustainable I wouldn't think.  We could be leading into a another stagflation scenario (what happened during Carter years).  Shouldn't raise taxes right now because stagflation came from inflation and slow growth.  Can't risk the slow growth aspect right now.

I’m building a new house right now.  Signed a contract 5 months ago.  Talking about timing...

We just went under contract on a property about an hour and a half NW of Charlotte. Never let it hit the market. Heard through the grapevine they were going to sell and hammered out a deal. 2400 square feet newer home on 10+ acres with a private pond would've been a bidding war. They were willing to forego potentially more money to avoid showings because they're both working from home and their kid is doing remote learning.

you should look at Austin's real estate market, Charlotte pales in comparison

The Front Range of CO is straight up STUPID. I honestly think that bubble is going to pop once people understand that the wages are absolutely not keeping up with the skyrocketing costs of living and those mountains? LOL! Yeah, you can see them and get teased but the days of weekend day trips to the mountains from the Front Range are OVER. That's what made me move. Well, that and our small mountain town getting inundated with Denver day traffic because I-70 is a parking lot and they don't want to spend three hours in traffic to get up to Summit County that's normally an hour. We will likely still end up back in western CO in a few years but FUG the Front Range.

Yeah the Denver market is pretty stupid right now.  I just pulled a re-fi on the house I bought 2 years ago and the mortgage company didnt even want an appraisal when I claimed the house was worth 80k more than what we paid.

Yep. We did a 3% down mortgage a few years ago and re-fi'd literally like three months later because we already had enough equity that it met the 20% down requirement to drop the PMI. Just LOL.

Yea, it’s insane.  Not  sure how long this can go for.

I thought it would've already popped but as long as there's low inventory and stupid low rates it's gonna keep going.

The one big variable IMO is when the foreclosure market comes back. Is the market falsely inflated right now because that bottom barrel market has been completely eliminated for nearly a year?

      Trade Deadline Talk

      By strato · Posted

      You are too harsh. Owners tell GMs what to do all the time. It doesn’t make someone “unfit”.  A man unfit for that job could not have had that 2025 draft.  And I am not trying to be belligerent I certainly don’t feel belligerent,  just trying to use some common sense. Tepper is the last guy that wants to give up on Young. The coach had WRs throwing fits on field and sidelines in view of everyone. He had to do it, but needed permission. I just can’t buy Tepper instigating that. Sorry.

      You guys are just going to have to accept the fact that Dan Morgan is a mid GM best case scenario currently. I used to have people get very belligerent over defending Scott Fitterer too. And that's not hyperbole. People used to go to bat for that guy like he was blood related. We have a truckload invested in the OL and what do we have to show for it? The whole unit is already banged up including one of our big signings. Even without all that the group has largely taken a step back from last year in pass protection. Then you get to the QB room and there's only two conclusions you can make about Dan Morgan. Either he deliberately ignored it two years in a row on his own accord or he took orders from Tepper to do so. Either scenario says he's not fit to be an NFL GM.

      Is Canales digging his own grave?

      By strato · Posted

      Frank, ceding control of the defense in no way verifies that Tepper told Canales to bench Young.    It certainly buttresses the idea that Canales would need permission to bench him but that is as far as you can take it.    After that it is pure speculation and it doesn’t make sense.
