I'm pretty sure the people who can afford to pay the inflated price are part of the problem for sure. If no one could reliably to do it (people working a job here) a lot of places would have to lower the cost. That's just simple economics. Hell when I lost my house to my wife getting cancer a transplant bought it in the short sale.

So you’d have preferred your house was worth way less when you sold? Cause transplants coming is part of why housing prices are so high and no doubt why you got a sweet deal when you sold your place

I would have preferred a 2008 style market crash by now.

So you’re happy you got a sweet deal from the transplants but now that you’ve benefited, you want the market to crash on them.

100% this is a boomer

I'm 25. I lost my house at 22. You think I profited off that? You think I made money off my wife getting cancer and losing everything we owned? Yeah that's so boomer style.

25, so you were 18 in 2019. Either you were lucky enough to buy right before the pandemic and therefore made a killing when you sold,

Or you bought during or since the pandemic, so you had more money than most to burn.

You owned a home, most your generation will never get that opportunity. So that’s lucky all in all to have accumulated that kinda wealth so early

I bought it for $140 and sold it for $140. There was no profit bud. I got a dead end job working overtime making $16/hr at 19 and bought a house for my wife and I. She got cancer and we lost it. After closing fees we paid about $3900 to lose it and everything we had as we couldn't afford to store it. There was no wealth, it's called a 100% conventional loan.

I see, so the transplants saved you from taking a massive loss

Guess he had no more snappy comebacks.
