wqj would agree.
wqj buys houses on margin to de-risk. different mentality.
With a 3.8m house, or anything over 2.5m really, renting >> buying.
in bay area rent >> buy.
3M is the new 2M.
What logic? And, or and nor?
xor: you should always choose stocks.
People always need a place to live. Some wants to live a good life. Thatâs why they buy very expensive primary homes. Renting is not the same because you canât remodel that home to your own taste. Itâs now about lifestyle and comfort, less about money.
Let me sit for another year or two before i can do that
Rolling around on piles of $100 bills feels more comfortable than living in a 4M shack.
Donât be bitter. Some are nice âshacksâ to live in. For example,
This home is nice!
I thought China clamped down on their citizens from foreign investments. How are they still buying?
this was in jan. and determined buyers would find a way to buy.
Tomato likes modern decor. I prefer cosy. A good home needs a high roof and a comfortable bed, that Los Altos house has too many useless furniture
Yes, vaulted ceiling would be nice. I donât care much about decor though. I like my home with less furniture, but wife is the decider when it comes to decoration
Letâs pick it up again @tomato. Where is it cold? I wouldnât call MP a cold market. The ones that languish are languishing for a reason. If itâs a cold market and owners are fearful you should see options. It does not exist.

Just because 1 is an outlier to the downside does not indicate a down market. You still have outliers to the upside too.
Ok - letâs say - it was I havenât followed it in a while.
Long time owners have a lot of monetary reasons to sell. There is 7 figures in equity there, but they arenât moving. 8M transaction in Menlo Oaks is a new record for the area.
Just trying to get you to see the light. There is no point in holding out for a downturn for your trophy. Buy it when it becomes available.
