I don’t think they’re flipping anything. it will take a long time for them to get out what they put in. Husband is probably a developer who had just enough stonks saved up to buy the biggest piece of poo poo house in SF and is using the remaining stocks for fixer uppery. That’s basically the only way even extremely well paid computer touchers can own property in the city these days.

LtCol J. Krusinski posted:The house across the street from me had hoarders- young couple bought it for like ~150k more than what I payed for my house the street that is 2x the sqft and bedrooms. I mean, the land value can exceed the property's worth, and that's likely the case with that house (in SF). Tear down, build a fourplex, sell each unit for $2-3 million (if not more).

Yeah. It's a nice house in a good area, though. But that city isn't allowing multifamily construction in that neighborhood. The lot might go for $75-125k if the house on it didn't exist, but it's a >50 year old neighborhood, so there are no vacant lots to compare.

You ain’t lying. They’re turning the old country club into luxury apartments (Only 2k a month for 2 bed 2 bath!) and hooooooly poo poo do they have opinions about it, mainly that “those” people (apartment renters, and also anyone not passing the brown paper bag test) are gonna drive down property value, increase burdens on public services while not adding appreciably to the property tax base or some poo poo, and a lot of other boomer talking points. If you ever want to go through the looking glass, get on the Nextdoor app.. it’s boomer schizophrenic cat nip.

Lol. ive been renting a 1br in a small condominium for a few years (moving out this month  ) the Owners hate the Renters so much. this old guy tried to gang up on a renter for parking in the assigned parking on the other side of the garage from his parking, thereby making it slightly more inconvenient to back out. an email chain was launched and a couple of the owners, including a lawyer, tried to get the renter to pay for daily Lyft rides because it was making it hard for an Owner with visibility and mobility issues to drive. said old guy also started rumors about me being a gang member (???) after he dug through 8 half full recycling bins and found not completely flattening a box into a flat plane one time -- there was a corner!! I also got into a dispute with the downstairs Owner for flushing the toilet or showering after 10 pm, and the landlord took her side until I said a medication I take frequently causes "profuse diarrhea," which I sent out in the condo-wide email chain we also can't use the city's affordable large trash/recycling removal service cause the Owners refuse to give the service number that is required to set up an appointment. homeowners are severely hosed in the head. I'm looking forward to my corporate slumlord apartment where everyone is equally Owned.

One of the weirdest things about homeowners is that they seem to leave the real world after buying and the longer it has been since they interacted with the housing market the more detached they are. Just absolutely no idea what is going on and they like it that way. Just to give an example, if they bought a place 10-20 years ago it just doesn't make sense to them that someone doing the job they had back then can't buy a house today. All sorts of nonsense pours out of their mouth like "it was tight but we did it," "you'll get raises and it will get easier," and "you aren't looking in the right places, a house just sold near me." It does not occur to them that their experience was localized in time and it can't be replicated today. VVVV Yeah, that might be it. MickeyFinn has issued a correction as of 21:32 on Feb 4, 2023 |

Typical behavior is to obsess over your property's value going up eternally while simultaneously insisting that home prices are exactly as affordable as whenever you last purchased a home

I imagine it's the same for most people who don't view their home as an investment. e: bought in 2014 so yeah it's spiked a ton, really the only thing about our house value that stands out to us though is "we couldn't afford it if we bought now".

This is exactly my situation, except I don’t pay property taxes. between 2015 and 2020 our house “doubled in value” (loving lol no it didn’t these numbers are all make believe Monopoly money imo) and other than seeing the home equity estimates on our monthly mortgage statement we don’t really pay close attention to it other than to note it’s gotten stupid expensive. gently caress this market.
