[–] LordCrom@lemmy.world 9 points 9 months ago (3 children) Im glad i bought my home 20 years ago..... no way i could afford a 3-2 at todays going rate. I blame all the house flipping shows. Made everyone think they could buy a house, paint it, then resell for 100k more. permalink fedilink source hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Entertainmeonly@lemmy.blahaj.zone 4 points 9 months ago Shit, I'd agree if companies like Blackrock didn't exist. permalink fedilink source parent [–] jaykrown@lemmy.world 2 points 9 months ago You touched on a core part of the issue, which is seeing housing/real estate as an investment which has driven up costs significantly while encouraging owners to be against new construction. permalink fedilink source parent [–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 0 points 9 months ago i think new buyers get low interest loans or something, they use it to flip the house. permalink fedilink source parent
