One of the best parts about living in Nebraska is that its not an appealing state for the coastal trash to move to.

But I will say we have been getting California trash in the Omaha and Lincoln areas recently.

Hold strong, men.

Educate these snowbirds on why we have nice things.

Tell them that their old lives are over and it’s time to open a new chapter.

Three years ago in our area of North East DFW houses were having up to 100 people a day viewing them as soon as they went on the market.

You couldn’t find anything decent for under 450K

Today if you look at Zillow homes for sale, there’s 500+ listings and no viewers.

My neighbor had hers on the market 3 months and had 5 people look at it, zero offers.

I will say though at least 60% of the California transplants here are pretty based.

Still home folks where I live other than occasional Floridians that decide to leave FL and build on their hunting land. I guess there’s a slight upside to having no industry, poor public schools and an abundance of aggravating people. Glass half full.

Unless I’m wrong sellers market means more demand and buyers market means less demand. That would mean Nola and Jackson have less demand and people are moving to the sellers market. I could be wrong.

Yes. Because demand is low in those cities it favors the buyer in terms of lower price.

You understand why they are buyers markets? It’s because people are fleeing both shitholes, and no one is moving in, depressing prices.

“Places like Texas and Florida were very popular in the beginning of the pandemic, when everyone moved there for outdoor living and that it was affordable,” said Zillow senior economist Kara Ng. “So what happened there, in these markets, was that builders were able to keep up with demand. They knew that people really want to live in these places, they were able to build a lot, and now we have more units available in these areas, along with a softening of demand. And so together, this creates a softer market.”

But the opposite is true in the Northeast and California, where seller’s markets remain.


quote:

“These are areas that, either because of geography or building restrictions, they have not been able to build to keep up with demand,” Ng said.

The northeast in particular, including cities in New York, Connecticut and Massachusetts, is a region that continues to favor sellers in 2025. In a lot of these older cities, due to geographic constraints, the only place to really build is to build up, Ng explained.


“Unfortunately, in a lot of places, there are restrictions on building more density, and so you have a situation where you’re not building enough to keep up with demand,” she said, which leads to housing prices going up.

Nobody wants to move to areas populated by dots, which NE/DFW has LOTs of.

In my neighborhood, near DFW Airport, the home behind me went up for sale. Listed for $895k, she had a contract within two weeks. One that is two houses over from me listed two months ago. It was under contract within days and the new family settled in three weeks ago. It listed for $865k. Did the owners come down on their prices? I don't believe so since they sold so quickly.

Seriously?

Abandoned and cheap. Must provide your own security, though.
