    As a millennial that was somehow able to afford a house this bubble needs to fucking pop.

    I’ll be locked into this house until I die and all of my friends and family will have to keep moving further away as they get priced out of their apartments each year. Before this I had moved 8 times in 6 years.

      Also a millennial. Wife and I got our condo right before everything shot up, got a nice 3.25% APR. Great mortgage honestly. But we’ve been trying to sell our condo for a YEAR now and I honestly think it’s the bubble holding back a sale. The condo is just too expensive for what it is (and the horrific rise of small community HOA fees has gotten way out of hand…). We’re priced right compared to others on the market, but selling condos is just stupid hard right now.

      Sure I’d love it if we could sell now and get some nice profits from the sale, but I absolutely agree this bubble needs to pop!

        Complains that bubble needs to pop. Is trying to sell a condo but has it priced too high to attract any buyers. Doesn’t lower price.

        My dude, your desire for more money is the bubble that’s holding back the sale.

        Your scenario is a microcosm of the whole market.

      Why stop at Berkshire? Vandalize any home that sits vacant. We have more vacant homes than homeless in America. We just need to make vacant homes too big of a risk

        No no no open the house to people that need to crash with a roof over their head. Squatting is the answer. Maybe eve some destructive squatting.

        Sounds like a convenient excuse to make everything a rental, or to just tear down all vacant homes.

        You can’t expect these people to sit by an issue they can toss money at to make better for them.

      everything they own is insured and you would be doing them a favor if they could collect on the insurance money instead of holding onto the assets.
