    Well hopefully it returns to some sense of normalcy by 2025.

    Nobody learned their lesson in 2008. They are back to shady
    mortgage practices. As the prime lending rate goes up, prices
    will come down. And it won't be pretty.

    You mean we get to do foreclosures again, car repos ? I'm making the popcorn.

    What lesson did they learn? They got bailed out and still foreclosed on a bunch of people.

    Been looking at property in TN.

    Realtor sent us some info on various places.

    The one she called a "fantastic" deal. A 1700 sq ft manufactured house on 42.5 acres, "not farmland or income producing" just a thinned-out/partial harvested woods.

    But it does have a new central air unit :D

    We're not talking the Nashville area; we're talking northeast of Chattanooga in the boonies here.

    Price $839,900.00 :o

    The house is worth 39,900, the land 800k. 42 acres is a bit of a chunk.

    Maybe the question should be....what lesson did WE learn ? Obviously not a thing since we are doomed to keep repeating them. Too big to fail, remember ? You...not so much.

    Because Tennessee is the HOT place to move to in the past 10 yrs, prices have shot up tremendously.

    Honestly, the Raleigh market has gone insane. It's some of the most highly valued real estate right now. Tennessee is hot, no doubt but what goes for $300K in NJ is going for $550K+ in Raleigh. Nashville area isn't that much more than NJ, probably $400K for similar. But Raleigh is almost double the costs of one of the most expensive housing markets in the nation.

    Assessed at about 307K.
    Land at about 5.5k acre

    Land list is pushing about 20k acre.
    All way overpriced IMO.

    FWIW, family member lives east of Nashville, bought a "spec" house about 6 yrs ago, 300-400k.
    Now routinely competing homes sell for around 1.1M+

    Crazy stuff....

    Funny when you do some digging on past sales disclosures of property.

    Some past sales 1-2 years ago show previous sales of 80% to 90% less than current list.

    Here in Charleston it's absolutely insane.....but it's like that in a lot of places, I guess. People are fleeing metro areas.

    Played golf a couple months ago with 3 folks (business partners) from NY who each bought houses, sight unseen, in Charleston, Tampa and outside of Houston. They were going to pick one location and the other two flip as investment properties...

    My neighborhood was devastated in 2012. Not a disaster, but annexed
    by the city of Memphis. You couldn't give them away. We were de-annexed
    A couple of years ago. House prices doubled. Prices are still low for the area.
    Coupled with low taxes, and the central location make it very popular all of
    a sudden. And now we get our trash picked up and county law enforcement
    actually patrols the area. Win, win. Houses are selling the same weekend
    they are listed.
