Real estate prices in other cities

People in Places like Dallas and Denver are getting rich just owning houses. Meanwhile, in Louisiana, our economy is shite and our real estate market is shite (comparatively speaking). Is living here like swimming up river? Are we stupid for staying?

I’m not sure how much real estate experience you have but the Baton Rouge market is super hot also!

Natchez is on fire. No one is used to it, people literally knocking on doors buying houses. AZ, CA, NM, Nola, BR, Alex.... The few I've talked to say it's people leaving liberal justice and tax policies.

Interesting how this all plays out.
Dollar is strong but everything i want to buy is magically up 25 to 50%

It's like stocks, if you ain't selling, you ain't making shite.

My house went on the market in Katy, TX this week for about 80% more than I paid for it in 2016. Property further West of Houston hasn't spiked quite as much, so I will be picking up some acreage out there.

Where do you live that the real estate market is not on fire year over year. Also, are they getting rich just owning a house? Wouldn't they need to sell it? If they sell the house they have to buy a new house in the same area presumably at inflated prices. You can get a decent house in much of Louisiana for $200k. In most of the places you just mentioned the price for the same house is likely $500k or more.
Housing has been under built for the last 10 years. This was inevitable. COVID just increased the pace of it.

I'm just saying that if you live in a prosperous state or city that your net worth will likely increase MUCH faster than if you live in a shitty place - regardless of what job you have.

My house in BR has gone up 50% in 5 years. I’m guessing in 10 years it should double what it’s worth now. All about location. By in the wrong location home prices hasn’t gone up.

NYC rents and prices are down substantially. Young people are taking advantage of the opportunity.

True, but if you sell your home in an inflated market you are then homeless and forced to buy another home in the same inflated market. Not sure how you get rich in that scenario.
A rising tide lifts all boats certainly applies here.

I don't expect the majority of Louisiana to follow the same trends as places like Dallas & Denver but you can certainly argue that New Orleans, for whatever reason, is also on fire as well. Every other place in Louisiana seems to be on an upward trend.
We bought a home in Lafayette in September 2020, based off the homes in our subdivision that have sold in the last month our home has gone up ~$10/sq.ft. in that short period of time.
Louisiana is a stagnant dump of a state but the real estate market here is trending up just like other states.

Very little inventory here in Huntsville and tons of people coming in buying cash way over asking. Home values probably up 25% in one year. I feel for anyone trying to find a home in this market. Literally have to buy sight unseen with cash along with no inspection

I live in Dallas, and yes my home valuation is sky rocketing. But if I want to sell, I still have to buy another house in the area that is going through the same thing. So it really evens out unless I want to move away from Dallas.

I have no idea what you are talking about. Real estate everywhere is on fire, including Louisiana.

Or you rent an apartment for a few years and wait on the real estate market to shift.
