And $205/year in property taxes because they're still assessing it at a mid-90s valuation. Jesus, that's cheap. Is Pittsburgh one of the places that reassesses on sale?

Depends on the neighborhood. I paid $120K for a place in a city neighborhood in 2015 and they're still assessing me at $58K. That house wouldn't be any different.

I called my bank to get preapproved for that house in case we look at it and like it and they approved me for way way way more than HUD says I can afford and offered a bridge loan for downpayments

It feels like a bubble but poo poo hasn’t popped yet.

Some housing regulations and practices established since in response to the Great Recession have been rolled back, but from what I’ve read it’s nowhere close to the Wild West of the mid aughts.

also, there is substantially more firm involvement in the housing ownership portfolio

a realtor I talked to yesterday said that there are properties sitting on the market for hundreds of days around here without moving the price an inch, with zero consideration for high rates. People and investors just sitting on poo poo forever because I guess they can eat the expense. idk

Guys, hold on... kamala to the rescue!

quote:

The White House on Wednesday will unveil a plan to reduce mortgage insurance fees charged to first-time home buyers, helping an estimated 850,000 borrowers save about $800 a year on the cost of a typical loan, it said in a statement.

Vice President Kamala Harris will announce the plan to lower fees on Federal Housing Administration (FHA) loans at an event in the Washington suburb of Bowie, Maryland.

The FHA charges the fees to insure lenders against riskier loans often taken out by lower-income home-buyers.

California just announced a $900 million aid grant to 'tackle' homelessness by, among other things, buying overpriced lovely tiny homes.

Democrats will do absolutely anything to keep property values high and avoid building public housing.
