The impact of mortgage rate increases aside (which is hard to ignore, but just for the moment), I wonder to what extent there is a "quality of listing" and "seasonality"/"timing"/"time on market" effect here... there's certainly a high season (spring/summer?) for home sales during the calendar...

possible typo by the seller?  that's the same number as for the sq ft'age of the home.

I was previously following these prices, then lost track as they kept going higher... anybody know the current pricing and phase now?  8)

seems like there's a debate over smaller, thinner skinned XLB at DTF, vs. bigger, thicker skinned XLB at Joe's... i like both.  8)

i must try JJ's and Mama's then... will report back when i find the time to try...  8) ok... so what's this thread about again?  oh, Colibri... !  (hope the child that threw up is doing well!)  8)

i'm a big fan of XLB (soupy fill pork dumplings)... and I generally think Din Tai Fung is pretty good (I've been to the original DTF in Taiwan, also locations in HK, Singapore, Japan, and Shanghai... and no, I did not eat dog while in China, since that's apparently topical on this thread!).  I...

Land ownership (if even applicable in the case of a condo development), is not infinite (e.g., to the center of the earth).  Others can correct me, but believe ownership may be limited by regulations, laws, etc. such that an owner may only truly have legal rights to only a certain depth.  In...

assuming big fat down payment... for sake of argument then.  (thought here is that a buyer is potentially far overpaying for a home that is appraised too low... hence, future ability to resell, if needed, is constrained by a future buyer's ability to finance)...

Can you elaborate what you mean by good ways and bad ways to handle [appraisals coming in lower than sales price]?  (if that's what you're referring to... curious to hear any stories here, whether sellers are often willing to come down in price, etc.).  TIA!      8)

any predictions on rates next week / next month? if one could lock this weekend at today (friday's) rates, sound like a good move?  8)

not opining on affordable housing (or a new sports stadium, or a new power line pole, or a cell tower)... but it often appears that those who push for a certain element to be added to a community, usually do not live in that said community...  (a.k.a NIMBY'ism).

Cash buyer?  English speaker?

Love that song.  8)

wow....

There must be a large number of folks who, despite a favorable sellers market, are actually deterred from selling. Assuming these folks do not want to move into a rental, they are avoiding selling because it would require them to find another home in this inventory constrained market, plus, they...

So sad... and our parents' generation (e.g., Buffett, Gross, Lynch, any real estate mogul, etc.) had a "tail-wind" and benefitted from a most favorable multi-decade period of growth in the value of risk assets too...  8) Meanwhile... we're all facing headwinds (as noted by goriot)...  :-\

That's phase 2b.
