what about condos?

The chart in the tweet is labeled ā€œsingle family homesā€ which generally means houses and condos and town homes. The person who tweeted about it referred to them as ā€œhousesā€, probably incorrectly.

Looks like Parler is back. Kind of

Left wing radical gets the FBI raid for saying what any right winger posts on Facebook after a few beers on a Friday night.

Those guys shouldnā€™t be arrested for being vaguely aggressive and neither should this guy

But after the assault on the U.S. Capitol, friends said, Baker became deeply concerned that the Proud Boys, white supremacists and other groups would flood Tallahassee and that people would die. He told Matthews and Fox Keen to stay inside and called for ā€œmilitant friendsā€ to join him in his plan to ā€œencircleā€ armed protesters and ā€œtrap them insideā€ the building.

And he printed the fliers that would become one of the FBIā€™s main pieces of evidence against him.

ā€œArmed racist mobs have planted the Confederate flag in the nationā€™s Capitol while announcing their plans to storm every American state Capitol on or around Inauguration Day,ā€ the call to arms said. ā€œWe will fight back.ā€

I mean, if you want to go after her for being a piece of shit, go after her for that shit she did. Donā€™t fucking drag her over going to rehab and her substance abuse issues. Itā€™s a pretty chicken shit, low thing to do, imo.

Florida has an insane real estate market right now, and from what I understand itā€™s due primarily to so-called pandemic refugees, ie people moving from locations that have actually taken the pandemic seriously. I was planning on hopefully buying a house this year, but that definitely is not going to happen now because of this market.

This chart is San Diego home price index. Iā€™ve been RE licensed in California since 2001, and have worked FT or PT or side hustled real estate ever since. Right now, the temperature of the residential market as far as multiple offers, low inventory, short times on market, appreciation, any idiot being able to make money flipping houses, etc. feels just like it did in '03-'05.

There are differences though, as it seems to be more cash offers rather than highly levered ones, and there is more institutional/REIT-type money flowing into the market.

I was trying to buy a condo in late 2019 and gave up because even if the property had only been on the market less than 3 days, by the time I got there it had already been sold.

Probably was for the best because I would be stuck in orange county for ~30 years and fuuuuck that.

The market in Charleston / Mt. Pleasant is absolute lunacy. Every house is off the market in a day. Prices are up 20% from a year ago. And this is far from the most insane market: Nashville and Austin are even more ridiculous.

It doesnā€™t seem like a bubble, though. The buyers are bringing 20% cash and in many cases are paying 100% cash and waiving contingencies.

Riverman buy and hold boring stuff > stonks.

this is the saddest house iā€™ve ever seen iā€™m so sad rn

Rick Perry idiot or Rick Perry thinking really long term here? Chance the Sec of Energy would know this topic, but Iā€™m still going with option one.

Iā€™m worse at detecting flirtation thanā€¦ anyone in the world. But even I was able to ascertain that a probable flirtation event had taken place.

I just gave an indirect shoutout to Mason in my book. I actually had to think about where I got the inspiration for this for a bit. Then I remembered.
