Bit further out of town than I'd like yet at 9.1km to the SuperMorzine lift I'm fine with that kind of a pedal.
But if I want to go skiing..... it's "on Piste"

If @Toshi sees that price he might reconsider his ski condo ponderings again.

That is quite fabulously cheap. It's also 222 sq ft! I need more space than that for the baby and her baby-crap alone

who would have thought that central banks dumping billions of cash to "estimulate" the economy would have ended up with financial gymnastics and said money parked in real estate.

Anecdotally:

There were quite a number of homes for sale in my old hood. Small mountain town that has of late been a shell game of no look real estate purchases turned into Air B&B's, or once a quarter vacation homes for the Los Angeles monocle class. In my previous life, a slew of available homes up there were pretty good indicators of an impending downturn. But again, anecdotally.

Have property values gone up since in the last few years, stagnant or dropped towards 2009-2014 values? The market here has leveled off, no more $50K-$100K over asking offers. However, things in the Bay Area are still moving at a steady pace. Not flying off the shelves like the last few years though, but still moving and selling for around asking +/-..

Wife's aunt and cousin both seemed to indicate that the market has been super hot and has only slowed in the last month or two, but seemed to think it had more to do with the town council getting pretty serious about cracking down on airbnb's. Most of the new Park employees can't afford to live in down and are all commuting from the valley, a solid hour commute, at least.

Demand for places like SF, new york, london and the like will likely keep steady or level as long as there are more humans. The market for those properties is global, thus a bit protected from the effects of the US economy.

The real estate market tends to dip this time of year until about feb/march. True as far as vacation rentals go too. I know South Lake Tahoe put a stop to airbnb's as it was getting out of hand with some renters in the quite neighborhoods

We have the Silicon Valley that keeps the area thriving. Hate to see what happens if they all get up and leave the state.

Last year a neighbor sold her little cottage similar to my place. It got bulldozed and a rather large and thankfully tasteful luxury home built in place. It sold in July for 1.8 million and the new owners have yet to occupy or attempt to rent. I don't get it. Tax records show it was sold to a rather American sounding couple and not some investment corporation.

It’s printing money.
Own old property (#1).
Develop old property.
Adjacent property values rise because new development.
...
Buy adjacent property (#2) and develop it.
Adjacent property values rise because of new development, including value of property #1.
...
Rinse & repeat.

Fuck occupancy and rent collections. It’s the assumed and marketed value of the thing adjacent to your property that raises the value. So just keep buying developing. Because who would develop buildings without occupants. Obviously there’s a tenant out there, especially in a city with a housing crisis. Ignore the fact that nobody can afford the asking prices and rents.

No need to panic yet, the wholesale foreclosures won't occur until after a massive Fed bailout that will ultimately 'fall short of expectations, forcing our hand towards this unfortunate reality.'

Median house price here is now more than DOUBLE what we paid in 2004, and I thought we got ripped off at those prices. I know I've been saying it for more than a decade now, but I do not understand how any of this is sustainable.
