[QUOTE="Troponin, post: 15854136, member: 162938"] I haven’t been paying attention to the rest of the country because my area seems to be in a bubble. I live in College Station, which is not far from Houston. Houston has been exploding in population and success since about 2012. As the houses started flying off the market, demand went up. Builders starting building houses so fast and they started quoting some insane numbers about a year ago, like $300/sq ft!! (That was 4,000sq ft and up). Houses in the 2,000sq ft range got up to about $180+/sq ft range, and 3,000-3500sq ft houses were in the $220/sq ft range Regardless, it’s interesting that the rest of the country is seeing a similar trend. I think the economy having a big boost, employers starting to hire more, bigger bonuses etc, the housing market just naturally picked up too. Oddly enough, my wife and I are selling our house and we are taking the crazy profit and downsizing to minimize loss. I dont even care anymore. Shit is expensive as hell to fix and there are a LOT of things to fix and take care of. We will be dropping by about 1500sq ft or more. I just want a big shop for our cars and toys, a nice property to shoot guns, and a pool for the wife and kids. Give me a cozy 2500sq ft house that we can make really nice and I’m good from here on.
