The pool of people able to afford a 650k home is small. Smaller if they need to avoid high interest rates by purchasing with cash. For a long time developers have been building larger luxury homes because they are more profitable. Seems to me like the developers are not thinking of the market.

Moonlite has been there for a long time. I once testified there against a proposed ordinance putting a nonsensical set of location restrictions on stores that sell videos that "constitute sexual conduct." The ordinance passed but the store evidently survived. The thought of a DVD being sexual conduct is weird.

I disagree with this video. Crashes we've seen have been due largely to excess debt.

We don't really have that in the current climate. Inventory shortages and people unwilling to give up their low interest rate mortgage will keep prices high-ish.

Prices may float down somewhat, but we won't be seeing a huge drop anytime soon.

I used to live in Methuen right across the border (literally 3 minutes) and did all my shopping in Salem. I had to think where this was because the sign wasn’t familiar to me since I moved to Arizona in 2021… took me a good 5 minutes trying to figure it out…. Until I saw the license plate for Highline Motors and then I realised where it was.
