Lots of people pulling up stakes and buying at crazy prices right now I have a goodly stack of mail from little hole in the wall real estate offices from everywhere I could imagine with stupid lowball offers to crazy inflated offers. But then. . . What do you do for a satisfactory replacement abode ? This is the exact reason I never consider my home an investment. Sure you can sell for a tidy profit but you still need a home so you have to buy into the same market... inflation makes us seem wealthier for awhile.... until it doesn't Bingo. A couple of summers ago my youngest son's then fiancee piped, "Can you imagine owning a place in the mountains"? Son, " We do." They do.

There are homes in the outskirts of Charlotte that are selling in hours after being listed. Some are getting bids at over $100,000.00 more than the asking price. Many are bought by folks that have only seen pictures of the home. Northeasterners have money, and they are moving here in droves. It is truly an insane situation.

What do you do for a satisfactory replacement abode ? Hmmmmm,.... 3 bedrooms, two baths, man cave with super sound and a huge flat screen, garage with too many tools, full likker locker, at least five more pistols, ice cold beer. Just the basics

You don’t HAVE to “buy into the same market”. The “profit” from selling and pulling up stakes works best when you LEAVE your market and use that money to buy or build in a more reasonable market. 😉

TN is getting overrun with Commiefornites, I am going to dig a hole in the ground in Weakley County at the end of a gravel driveway and cut some shooting slits in the berms. I will General the construction myself and use subs that I know and who I have made a lot of money for in the recent past. Madison County has gone to the dogs and is now a certified shathole, average HS graduate reads on 4th grade level, crime is terrible. Tired of making rich fuggers richer and will never get on another commercial air liner.

Bought 80 acres a year ago or so, with an eye towards selling current house, building new and moving. At that time I got a budgetary price on a timber home package. Just this past week that same package is 60% higher. Wifey-poo and I are recently retired and have just too much house now that kids are gone and the market is hot around here just like most places, semi-rural, private, quiet, (translation no groids). But although I could sell my house for a sweet price, that 60% premium might be prohibitive. Like others have said, where ya gonna go if you sell!!!

There is no amount of money that could make me move there.

That has spread to the high country of western NC, lots of non-residents showing up with lots of cash and paying way over market for property and homes .
As for Charlotte, it's just over two hours away and it's way too close. Don't go there unless I absolutely have to (to the airport if I can't get out of Tri- Cities in TN) .
Don't know if it's NYC South, but it makes Metro Detroit look like a nice place .

I live in the poorest county in the US, and own property in the second. I've been offered close to 30 times what I have invested in the property. But nothing beats being able to hunt and fish on your own property. And having your own mile long driveway keeps all the thieves away....so far. I'm not selling till I find something better and that's not looking like is going to happen.
Life is good live it while you can.

Oldest son bought a huge nice home in Illinois for $89/sq ft. Here in SW Utah, it's $250-300/sq ft. Yeah, I wouldn't live in Illinois, but there are places in the country where you can get a home for a decent price. Property tax will consume that savings You're right, there is that consideration.

I agree brother fubar. I don’t buy a place because it’ll be worth money later. I buy because that’s where I want to live. I don’t buy vehicles based on resale, or guns as investments either. I came to the conclusion life it too short to live in a shidt hole liberal state, when I could die before realizing my “investment”. Years wasted.

I could sell my cabin and 81 acres for a whole bunch more than I paid for it two years ago. But I wouldn’t have my cabin and 81 acres. I need the cabin and 81 acres more now than money. Life is short. Smart Man!
Due to the increased price of ammo, don't expect a warning shot...
