These days life aint much easier here. Seattle used to be some what reasonable to afford. Now its just like the bay. If I didnt already own a house, I would not move here.
I understand, it has definitely gone nuts compared to 2018/19 when i first started looking. We didn’t buy a house yet cause exactly the same issues, we get outbid. For now we are going to check the area and see if we really like it.Yeah for real. I'm just sitting tight until the next "correction" to buy. Chilling in my rent-controlled apartment while I wait it out.
Luckily my wife and i both work somewhat flexible jobs where we could easily move around.
