Just blew a four-goal lead on Saturday also. Oof. You guys need a goalie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We were spoiled having Brodeur all those years. Giving up weak goals is so deflating. The sad part is that their offense has been pretty good this season. You just can't win 6-5 or 7-6 every night.

I went looking for info because some of the things I’m seeing in the real estate market right now are really unbelievable. It really does feel like we are on the verge of a bubble again. Houses on my street are selling for 80% higher than they were just 14 months ago. There are other metrics that I’m unfamiliar with too and agree it’s a lot of info and the writing is a bit sloppy, but I understood the general gist and it’s agrees with a lot of what I’m seeing.

BuffaloWeather Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Looking to book a trip for next month.

Even though I don't care for UNC, I really felt for him. You'd have to be emotionless to not be upset by that loss. That's a rough one...and they were up by 16 in the first half. Great run for them but when you're that close, it hurts when you can't close the deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloWeather Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 The real problem with the housing market are these large real estate companies buying up hundreds and thousands of homes and renting them out. With interest rates so low these huge companies took advantage to make billions on the backs of the everyday American citizen. The lack of supply and increasing rental rates due to these massive corporations caused the dramatic rise in price of homes. The very low interest rates didn't help.

Would be interested to learn more.... https://www.washingtonpost.com/outlook/2022/01/04/corporate-landlords-silicon-valley/ The millions of foreclosures in the housing collapse created new opportunities for global investment firms to buy homes at scale, becoming corporate landlords controlling tens of thousands of homes. And a wave of digital advances sped up and reduced friction in home-trading operations and property management. The biggest beneficiaries of Silicon Valley innovations have been Wall Street interests, not individual homeowners — and certainly not renters. Corporate landlords, focused on easy yields from rental homes, have emerged as an increasingly important and unique actor in housing markets around the country, especially in the Sun Belt. Today, corporate landlords are riding a wave of growth fueled by market conditions emerging during the pandemic. Their growth, though, comes at a cost for the rest of us. Corporate landlords are outcompeting would-be owner occupiers with all-cash, no-contingency offers; they’re charging rent increases averaging 20 percent for new move-ins; and they’re more likely to pursue eviction than mom-and-pop landlords, even during the pandemic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloWeather Posted April 5, 2022 Share Posted April 5, 2022 Mortgage rates just went up a bunch overnight. 5.125% for a 30 yr mortgage. To think I got 2.75% for a 30 year mortgage at end of 2020. The increase in mortgage rates should cause a decrease in the dramatic increase in housing prices to more typical levels. The higher the rates the higher the monthly payment when calculating DTI Ratios. However, those who are rich and do cash deals are still winning.

While I think these large investment firms are definitely an issue, they account for less than 10% of the total rentals in the entire country. The rental industry (private investors included) as a whole is gobbling up massive amounts of homes.

wolfie09 Posted April 5, 2022 Author Share Posted April 5, 2022 Man what a treat I have this evening lol I haven't had NY style pizza from the tri state area in about 7 years and I got it delivered..lol (girl coming back from Jersey).. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SouthBuffaloSteve Posted April 6, 2022 Share Posted April 6, 2022 Was hoping to hop on the home buying bandwagon mid last year but the prices took off just before I was in the financial position to upgrade. Not even worth looking right now as what I want is above my price range. Figure things have to level off here at some point. Might as well use another year to pay down some more debt and bank some additional down payment funds and hope the market is more stable then. Just crazy how fast these prices have gone up. Bought my house in 2010 for 90k (houses in my neighborhood are all almost identical and usually run close in price) At that time the average price range was running 85k-95k. Price increased slowly to a 115k-125k range in 2017/2018. Now post pandemic houses here still in decent shape or recently renovated can fetch 200k+ A quarter mil for a 3 bed 1 bath in South Buffalo.
