Just to give you an idea how crazy the market here is right now...

These homes *start* in the high 600-thousands. And you get a lovely view of these industrial power lines — literally in your backyard!

And yes, these homes are built within 10 feet of each other.

I can’t tell from the image, are they single-family or are the garages attached? And what city are you in?

They're building $$$ houses near me next to a mushroom farm. The smell would kill you after six weeks.

That’s the way their doing here, too. Tall homes on zero lot lines with minimal yards unless you go far out into the rural areas. Your only other option is to buy two lots and build your own. And everyone gets a pine fence, gratis, so we can all live in Dilbert cubicles.

Viva la progress!

Everytime I fly I’m reminded that anyone paying $200k for a lot that is 1/8th of an acre is insane. Urban land prices are the biggest scam going.

We are in a lovely bubble down on SW Florida right now too. People who bought their home not even a year ago are reselling and making around $100k for just living in it.

Will be funny when it bursts big time in the next few years. They recently broke ground on a bunch of new developments and plan on building 10k more homes within 5 years. Then, the older houses will become worthless.

Powerlines aren’t that big of a deal, i live relatively close to them (further from the substation). My housing development was built in the early 70's there’s never been any complaints of any health issues related to them.

They’re not pretty though lol.

sucks on how on top of each other they are and how much they cost.

Want to see what 600k gets you in a wonderful city in Michigan? Here’s what that gets in Michigan.

It’s about the same in the Midwest.

I get a kick out of the billboards exclaiming “FROM THE LOW $590s”.

There is nothing “low” about $590,000!

This is about an hour northeast of Seattle.

They’re single family homes with attached garage.

Right and it’s in really small print too!

*whispers* from the high

So you drive by and see 600 and think 600, not 695, which these probably are.

I’m gonna go home and pet my 2200 sq-ft house with 2-1/2 car garage that I bought for $190k.

Then I’m going to kick it for needing so much work and money put into it.

Then I’m going to pet it again, because it’s still a pretty good house and it’s kinda cool looking.

Then I’m going to try not to think about all the money I’ve spent fixing it.

Then I’m going to try not to think about all the money I still have to spend on the house to make it right.

Then I’m going to try not to think about all the cool cars I could’ve bought with all that money.

Then, hopefully, one or both of my daughters will do something really cute, and remind me why I’m spending all this damn money fixing a house.

My sister lives out there, I briefly lived out there too and yeah, it’s ridiculous. I used to love the idea of Seattle but the reality of Seattle is a little lackluster. Weather sucks 6 months out of the year, terrible city to commute in and high cost of living.

I do miss not having state income taxes though.

It’ll be my summer home when I win powerball

I love doing this to people though. When they’re in a crazy expensive housing market I send a listing of a comparable home from my market just to mess with them.

My house cost less than a third of the cost of the one I linked to and it’s a 4 bed 2 bath 2000+ square foot house lol

Yay education hill.

literally anywhere else you can get double the home\land for the money.

This is up in west Clearview (or North Creek)... I mean, have you been to Clearview? Closer to HWY 9 and the bikini batista strip than to downtown Mill Creek. And swampy. The summer skies are dense with deerflies.

See these two houses. They’re for sale for 1.5 million. (One has sold) Notice anything funny though?

That’s 395 in your front yard. One of the most heavily trafficked roads in the DC Area. Hell, you can even see the Air Force memorial from this view. There’s also literally no backyard. Mhmmmm, the smell of fumes.

8am and that road is literally filled with cars. To the brim.

Brutal. Those split garages are pretty cool though!

I was working at a new plat, close to HWY 92, literally separated by a six foot fence. First big rig that drove by, the entire house shook and screamed. There is large logging operation just up that highway. All yours for 400k.

Bainbridge Island is much the same. You spend $700+ for a house (much like my father did), and then you get zero property, small square footage, and typically not the greatest view.

My father’s first house on Bainbridge was adjacent to the second busiest road on the entire island. $675,000 or so. Madness!
