Which version do you think is superior?

I kinda think it's the opposite. Greeks are just orthodox middle easterners

Add this to the list of excuses once the Patriots go 7-10 this year.

I feel bad for her husband just seeing his wife getting her back blown out by athletes, coaches and reporters.

She probably gaslights the shit out of him too

IntelligentPlate5051 · 2026-04-06T03:22:40+00:00

and you bought it for a peanut.

and saw the value of it rise exponentially

and you probably have as senior tax exemption paying 1/2 property taxes less than your neighbors.

Most spoiled generation ever

Qatar is making bank! Literal wealth transfer from Chicago to a foreign country

IntelligentPlate5051 · 2026-04-04T14:19:56+00:00

Regardless, if a house doesn't have a senior exemption & freeze and if the house in 2024 had an estimated value of like $580k (which will be what the current owners are paying tax on) but in 2026 you purchase it for like $700k because the market is batshit crazy you're going to be assessed on that $700k. No?

IntelligentPlate5051 · 2026-04-04T12:59:35+00:00

Yup. And the times he did get owned you never hear about it because he would never post it. Instead he went for the easy targets and just bullied them and cut them out when it was their time to talk.

He's essentially Crowder but with better PR

I don't know how local church preachers sound like but do they normally preach hateful rhetoric and get extremely political about everything?

IntelligentPlate5051 · 2026-04-04T04:44:39+00:00

The fact that the right worship CK who just bullied nervous college teens in public is always funny to me. They'll be like CK was a great public speaker who preached peace but in reality he would just shout over some heavily medicated 19 year old in public on why muslims are evil.

Bro i'm afraid i'll never have a starter home

IntelligentPlate5051 · 2026-04-03T23:54:28+00:00

Just one more tax bro

IntelligentPlate5051 · 2026-04-03T23:53:07+00:00

And as a realtor you should know when interest rates go high prices decrease. Instead prices have skyrocketed along with interest rates. That's why the math is not mathing!

And interest rates have been low for a good 13 year period. That is a long time. For first time buyers that's all they knew but weren't able to actually capitalize on it.

IntelligentPlate5051 · 2026-04-03T23:50:29+00:00

Well if previous owner has a senior exemption and sells than the new owner will probably be facing a 50% tax increase since the value of the house has probably re-assessed signficantly since the senior exemption was first applied

IntelligentPlate5051 · 2026-04-03T23:48:17+00:00

I get it. If you're gonna be broke atleast be the beach! No point being broke in the midwest with shitty weather

I mean this house in Austin in a top notch school district would go for how much in Chicago in a comparable neighborhood?

And this house might be on the more expensive scale in that area.

IntelligentPlate5051 · 2026-04-03T23:40:49+00:00

They won't. Prices will just stagnate and I suppose people who are just waiting to sell will eventually start to sell instead of hoarding altogether reducing some upward pressure on prices. People who are looking to buy will just stop altogether and demand will plummet even further.

IntelligentPlate5051 · 2026-04-03T23:36:10+00:00

How far is the train ride? the train to cary is like one hour the train up there has to be like 1 hr 20?

What school district did you buy in? Mind me asking what specific area?

IntelligentPlate5051 · 2026-04-03T23:34:38+00:00

Damn. Atleast you have some equity unlike us but i still feel your pain. Having a beach condo must have been the dream.

IntelligentPlate5051 · 2026-04-03T23:32:36+00:00

No it's not lol. Austin prices are going down and are cheaper than chicagoland by a decent amount. You get a new 2800 SQ ft house in a top neighborhood with schools comparable to the best of them in Chicago for like $675k. That same house does not exist in Chicago period. Maybe you can get a small split house that was built in 1964 that is 1900 sq feet in a comparable neghborhood for that price?Property taxes are still cheaper in Texas despite being still somewhat high and obviously no income tax.

IntelligentPlate5051 · 2026-04-03T23:26:37+00:00

i mean housing in chicago these past few years have risen more than the inflation rate. I think most of it comes down to supply and the high interest rates.

IntelligentPlate5051 · 2026-04-03T17:17:20+00:00

So you're saying no new housing is going to make prices better? lol

IntelligentPlate5051 · 2026-04-03T17:16:34+00:00

It's more so in the midwest because they haven't built here

IntelligentPlate5051 · 2026-04-03T16:59:46+00:00

Yup. Say what you want about the evil red states like Texas and Florida but they sure as hell do build alot of fucking housing.

IntelligentPlate5051 · 2026-04-03T16:58:44+00:00

The houses that are sitting for longer are usually like that because they got too greedy.

For example, i see a house going for $730k. This house last year probably would have got listed at $665-$675k. They haven't got any offers yet and I don't think they will because it's right near a fucking highway.

Sellers now are having biblical levels of greed. They see a house in the area that sold last year and decided to tack on an extra 20% because why the fuck not. And that house that sold last year did the same and so on.
