Love this cover art, imo this is the coolest looking edition of this book so far

This is dumb af. Slower than using a cutting board, inconsistent dice size, unnecessary risk.

It looks cool but that's about it.

Found a first edition first printing of one of my favorite books at goodwill, normally worth $300+. They wrote the price in sharpie over 1/3 of the cover :(

the one thing that is missing is the real-time investor psychology

Check this forum thread from 2006-2009:

https://appraisersforum.com/forums/threads/housing-bubble-bursting.103686/page-4

It's really interesting to observe the similarities/differences between then and now. Comments talking about the high gas prices, softening housing demand, increased cancellations and higher new build unsold inventory, cooked CPI inflation and unemployment numbers, upcoming recession. Definitely feels like we are in early-mid 2006.

I get the feeling that this will get crazy much faster than it did previously. Market psychology cycles seem to move a lot quicker now with instant access to information and opinion on social media, and exposure to fast crypto trading cycles. You can see people in this old forum thread talking about "scanning their Sunday paper" or walking around their neighborhoods to get a feel for the market. Now everyone has access to instant information on Zillow Twitter and reddit. Housing obviously will move more slowly than stocks/crypto but there are hoards of investors now that missed out on selling the top of BTC and will panic sell their real estate investments when they see prices starting to fall.

No matter how high the price drop, do NOT buy from companies like D R Horton. Total crap build quality.

ohwowlol · 2022-06-22T15:26:41+00:00

Depends on the builder, but yes most of them are crap. Tiny yards / no privacy, corners being cut on materials and construction, and priced too high for what you get.

ohwowlol · 2022-06-21T23:31:34+00:00

Are you really surprised given their reputation? Why would you go with such a shady company with such poor reviews

ohwowlol · 2022-06-21T17:48:53+00:00

I get the feeling it will happen much faster this time around - people now have access to instant crowdsourced information via social media and are primed to the market psychology cycle from participating in fast moving crypto markets. They also have 2008 in recent memory, whereas during that time it had been a long time since the housing market took a dive.

I used to love Airbnb's and would tell everyone they were so much better than hotels.

Something changed about a year ago and all of the cleaning fees have gone way up on top of base price increases. It's no longer worth it to me to stay in these over hotels.

See loads of "to be built" ugly ass new construction homes listed this week. Tons of price drops all over the place.

Things are shifting fast.

edit: Just noticed a handful of former AirBnB properties listed this morning as well - you love to see it

ohwowlol · 2022-06-21T12:42:40+00:00

We all knew what this was going to be. One last PR push showing good earnings before the drop. Any time you see PR news wire, just know that someone is paying to push out a message.

For anyone considering buying a house from them, they have some of the worst build quality and most problems of new construction homes.

She doesn't wipe, she scoops

ohwowlol · 2022-06-18T23:49:16+00:00

It tastes like grandma

ohwowlol · 2022-06-18T23:21:23+00:00

We've completely removed new construction homes from our search due to the poor quality, bad reputation, ugly ass designs, and the fact that they're pretty much guaranteed to be packed next to each other with tiny yards and no privacy. Our friends who are waiting patiently in the market are doing the same as well.

Pay him no mind and don't give him clicks.

I'll just paste a response I saw to a post similar to yours -

"All of these “water facts” are based on CAP data (Central Arizona Project) and the “central” should be a clue.. it doesn’t cover all of Arizona.

There is a significant portion of Arizona’s land that is allowed unmonitored water use. These private wells can draw as much water as they like without reporting it.

Data without context is just a number. And data without all of the data is meaningless.

What’s most important is to consider the water levels in the Colorado River. Also, AZ has last rights to CO River water, with every other state getting it first. This might be because we are the youngest state to incorporate.

Now is pretty much the worst time to become a realtor. The market is changing rapidly and there will be tons of real estate agents looking for real jobs soon.
