Housing prices in the Dallas TX area are up 29% in the last year.

But with rising mortgage rates can this continue? Was that $2.6mm an all cash deal?
Who would write a $2mm mortgage?

Foreign money flowing through Canada (#1 source of Foreign real estate investment) increased 115% in 2021.
Mortgage? No.
Foreign money secured in the safe haven of US real estate? Yes.

I know someone who wrote a check ($2.5M) for a house while standing on the doorstep having convinced the desperate to sell homeowner that he and his agent were over pricing it. Of course she had recently sold her paid off home in West Vancouver for twice that.
Strange world we live in these days?
Just saw a clip of a temperature sign that said 122F … perhaps if you guys used C it wouldn’t be so miserable @ 50C?
18C right now in Halifax … still early.

Thank you for recommending this post to our Best of feature.

We prefer to call it the Atlantic Ocean. You know “Atlantic Canada”? We also encourage people to move here. Chatting with a young couple with four little ones last night at Costco, they have been here less than five years and all of the little ones were born here in Halifax. Canada also has generous benefits for families with children, these people hit the jackpot. }};-D
Halifax is booming with a large influx of Canadians from central (Ontario and Quebec) came for the lifestyle and relatively affordable housing.
Nova Scotia is steadily growing, and we want to encourage those living across the country and around the world to build a life in our beautiful province. With a growing population comes increased opportunities. Newcomers fuel our economy, fill labour gaps and enrich our communities.

The house across the street from us went on sale 3 weeks ago at $750,00. After two price cuts it is now $725,000. I expect more price cuts honestly. Things have REALLY slowed down around here. (just north of Austin)
2600 square feet, 3BR/2BA, with in-ground pool, in great shape.
…two price cuts it is now $725,000
It should be noted that Austin’s existing home inventory shot up by 220% over the last six months.

As Jerry Konter pointed out this month before House Ways and Means Committee Hearing on the Housing Crisis.
“The housing affordability crisis is driven by one factor: as a nation, we have failed to produce enough housing to keep up with demand."
Austin, along with cities on a construction spree of new homes will see a decline in housing prices; places like Denver, St. George, Las Vegas, Boise.
