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?

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
