Hi all, looking for some advice or shared experiences. We own a co-op in NYC, and for the past seven months, our building has had scaffolding up that’s completely blocking the views from our living room and primary bedroom. To make matters worse, pigeons have started nesting and pooping outside our windows—it's becoming a real nuisance. TBC.

Who is still in denial about a housing correction? The Fed just made another .75% increase. Powell said they won’t stop until inflation is 2%. He also said a recession would be better than the consequences of unchecked inflation. He announced he will bring rates to a “restrictive level” until “the job is done”. He said that labor demand needs to soften (ie: layoffs). He very explicitly said he wants to slash demand and that housing needs a “correction”.

Due to a family situation we are looking to move to a different state. Normally we would sell our current home and buy a new home in our new location.

We are moving from Vegas to Sacramento and we are not sure how long we would stay in the new area. Thoughts?
