Thanks guys! Proper pictures likely this weekend, along with an actual post outside of off-topic!
It's rather insane everywhere, but especially in places like Phoenix/Arizona. I sold my house last year and did well but in some ways I wish I had sold sooner then purchased our next house before the spike, we thought we'd wait a little bit to buy... welp that backfired, now we can't get anything like we once could have. My wife and I are going to sell the one we are in, then combine our equity and buy our next house that should last us for some time here, maybe till we want to retire (hopefully) but everything has gone up 200k+ that we'd actually want to live in, which means we will still have a mortgage and aren't ahead of the people who have cali equity or investors who are beating people to the houses on the market. And we aren't talking insane houses, sure there is a wishlist but it was doable a few years ago. Thanks Cali and everyone else who moved or are moving here. Making a backup plan too. Looking at raw land as an investment/retirement property near family far away from the big cities that isn't exploding like it is in the metropolis that will likely combine Phoenix and Tucson. I know people who lived farther out than I'd like to live, their houses are up 200k more than what they paid.
