@jackjjackson 2001-2008. From what I hear, since then it's become more crowded and expensive from all the people moving there. I wish I'd stayed; my house has probably doubled in value since I left.
You got out slightly before the getting was good. However had you stayed until now values have plummeted. What you “hear” and facts tend to be the opposite. 🤡 @LeopoldBloom
@jackjjackson I just checked Zillow. My house is valued at over twice what we sold it for. So as usual, you're full of it. If values "plummeted," I can't imagine what they were up to before.
What's really shocking is how houses in my old neighborhood in Los Angeles are selling for an average of a million dollars now. If people are leaving blue states, that's just the free market. I know someone in Cleveland who just bought a house similar to the one I grew up in for a little over $100K. If people are moving from California to Ohio, that's why, not because they're fleeing "liberal" for "conservative."
@jackjjackson Well, then the people we sold it to missed out, because they're still there. But then, hindsight is 20/20. Maybe they were holding out until it got to a million.
That house was not worth $750K. It's not even worth $535. Portland, like the rest of the West Coast, is insanely inflated. What's interesting is that here in Savannah, our property's value has increased steadily. It didn't peak in 2019; in fact, it was only worth a little more that year than what we paid for it in 2008.
