On Top Of All The Frightening Problems which

[busterbrown]

have begun to take most of us into a state of high anxiety..
One of the worst problems for many of us, is the reality that those of us who pay
rent..... are facing never ending problems of increasingly high rents which are pushing us to find A house to buy... We are looking in Palm Springs now, but let me tell you.. It's a sellers market: Big Fing Time.. The reasonable priced home are sucked up almost immediately..

Many of you guys are fortunate for several reasons.. Long Time House Owners..etc.

Good luck to all!!

1. Good luck to you in your house hunting...I recently heard (can't quote off the top of my head...

now) that it's shifting (the housing market) to a buyer's market, so this may bring you some relief/some properties in your price range.

Again, best wishes and good luck! From a long term house owner...

2. Still better offf buying than renting

Renters are getting absolutely gauged right now.

In my mid sized mid western city to rent the home I own would be almost double what my mortgage is.

3. Really bad in L.A..

Ton of new upscale apts going up all over L.A. Most of them are practically empty for at least a year ......They are nice, but man it's a disaster.. Use to be the fact that the new apts would be occupied by several hundreds of bright talented young ones bent on stardom or tech jobs in the industry.. Ain't happening.. Almost spooky to see the great buildings sitting empty.. Garages Empty.. Few night lights, or porch lights on.. You can tell that management comes in a night and turns on lights.. but draws the curtains...

4. Very interesting, and spooky. We've read rents are still rising.

Also, of course, that L.A., like many other big cities, is once again losing population to farther-out suburban communities.

Like you, and best of luck finding your next home where you want it soon.
