I love hipsters, they've jacked my property value up by 50k in the last 2 years alone. Bring it on. I've lived in the inner city my whole life, I love my hood. Hipsters come in and try to reverse the white flight that created our city's crime problem.... Fine by me$$$$.
i hope they are burning the luxury cars.

The practice to set cars alight on New Year’s Eve as a symbol of protest reportedly originated in the 90’s in the poorest areas of the country’s east, around Strasbourg. The burning of cars is used as a tactic to express social discontent.

I'll take on a big mortgage if the value is there.
speaking of property values, one of the critics of the housing crisis in my city posted a link where you type in your address and it shows the assessed value by the city and the house went up 700k compared to the last assessment.
I wouldnt pay more than 500k or 600k total for the house not 2+ million whatever.
a few things deterred me from taking on a big mortgage.
i changed careers.
housing bubbles around the world scared me.
and i dont want to live in my country.
im a minimalist these days.

Quarter mill will get you a mansion here. I bought the house I'll die in, and my wife is on the same page with me on that. Life's all about choices, some people always want more, and they'll always be in debt to someone because of that.
I know you'll have a hard time understanding this ricky, but UPSERS work hard for their money, and that usually makes them smart with that money because they know how hard it was to come by.

Many real estate listing companies show what sold in any neighborhood lately . And some will show what your property is worth . Try Zillow.com

In my book keeping records I have special accounts like that listed as Beer Money.
yea i was talking to some people at work today about it. they say the city assessments dont actually reflect what the property is worth. i was looking at some listings right now and it looks like it is worth $2 million because there are regular houses going for 1.5 million. its just stupid. even if it dropped 60% it would still be unaffordable and out of wack if you ask me.
in vancouver and toronto, people have earned more money from capital appreciation on property than from all incomes combined.
the economy is screwy.

What country do you live in? If not your own? I have experienced buyers and sellers markets but never any bubbles.

Cities and towns always under value property for tax purposes .
Should they have to raise additional funds they can always increase your property's value .
Market prices can vary .
It's always has been decided by who wants to live where and when . The more that are looking for housing where inventory is small always raises selling prices .
The cheapest housing is in areas where no one wants to live .

or theyre in debt because they never made enough money to begin with.
i dont dispute the idea that UPSERS work hard, ive done it for a few months, ive seen the knee boards on the forum. when i was there training, the driver i was with started at 5am and finished at 9 at night or whatever.
yea i agree you shouldnt have to spend alot of money on a house; it should be a reasonable price. my aunt an uncle bought a house in phoenix for 100k, it would be more than enough for me.
there was a ton of countries with bubbles last 10 years: spain, america, i think UK, ireland, i forget.
right now australia, canada where i live, america has another bubble, probably more.
why do you say that?
