Daily reminder that there is no housing bubble.
Daily reminder that it's still possible to buy a functional, modest house for less than the price of a new car.

You optimists INFURIATE me. No one is going to give you a house for cheap just because someone died in it. The price will stay up.

There is a bubble in cars and housing. Only boomers could not understand that prices can’t rise faster than wages for long periods of time

Housing prices are at an all-time high, even adjusted for inflation.
Clearly there is a bubble.
And most of these houses are shitshacks made of wood or OSB and clad in tyvek cardboard.
You wouldn't be able to sell that house to a German for $3k, let alone $30k.

lmao you can definitely get a deal if someone recently died or was murdered in a house and if you don't use that as a way to get a deal, well... have fun over paying for a house you were gonna over pay for anyway

>> No.13140650

>>13140624
Retard shit
Think of it simply from a negotiating outlook;
The only reason it would get you a deal is if it's really a factor in the majority of the market's buying choice
It's not some magic string of words that compels the seller to knock a little off the pricetag
They're gonna sell to the highest bidder regardless

Not only that, the quality of American housing is actually deteriorating:
>https://www.securitysales.com/news/ul_test_reveals_new_homes_burn_800_faster_than_old_homes/
>The department recently learned that most new homes are being built out of oriented strand board (OSB), which is made of wood pieces that are compressed together and then glued. These boards are being used as support beams.
>An Underwriters Laboratories (UL) test revealed that OSB beams burn 800 percent faster than solid beams, which were used to build older homes, News4Jax reports.
People buying these tinderbox OSB shitshacks thinking they're a great investment are delusional.

The companies that sell OSB and the builders who use it know it burns 800% faster and that people will burn to death because it, but they evidently don't care.
Shekels speak louder than lives.
