I live in a suburb of a Tier 1 city. There is one house in my entire city for sale that’s less than $1m. This expands to four houses if I include “coming soon”. This expands to six if I include townhouses

Ya, expensive cities suck

Yup, low inventory out there, which will keep prices high

To be fair, some suburbs only have huge houses so the average price is inflated.

Love how BS credit score is.

I always pay my balance in full each month and have never missed a payment, how is 8% credit utilization determined to be that big of a risk that my score got immediately wrecked, I don’t understand

Would you say Austin’s real estate market will go through a correction in 2022? I am considering there in a few months (wife and 3 kids) from a normal-priced city.

Got news that my house closing may have to be moved due to a delay in the sale of my home. My partner’s income was excluded in the DI ratio, but if it were included we’d be well under the % threshold and can be approved to close on time regardless of the sale of my house. However our mortgage company’s underwriting team has been painfully slow in confirming if her income qualifies. She’s been at her new job 1 month after a year off. Anyone with underwriting experience have insight?
