Average salary of $187k. I can see this bringing a bump for current IT professionals in the area for talent retention. And yeah, it's about to get even more expensive to live in RTP. REALLY wish we hadn't sold our last house and just rented it out... 5 mins from 540/Davis. It resold 2 years after we moved for 75K more that what we sold for. Ugh.metcalfmafia said:

But these corporations are now too powerful and pushing their pollical cultural values on conservatives like myself. Our state government will have to bow to Apple going forward with any legislation which it no doubt already does with other big companies like Amazon in NC. It seems like the tech companies are on the front lines of corporate woke tyranny. I do not want NC to become a blue lefty state. I don't want state level republicans to bow to greed and/ or woke pressure. I don't want our culture to become like California.
I'm sure I'll get flack for this post but that's how I feel today.

Artificial intelligence will phase humans out of certain jobs, driving up unemployment. And both technologies are weapons systems to set up a high-tech control grid where they can track and trace the population, and spy on everything we do.

I feel for anyone trying to buy right now. I was talking to my realtor about a potential spot that isnt active until the weekend and she was talking about possibly needing to offer site unseen (which I absolutely refuse to do given the due diligence numbers being thrown out). I didnt think it would ever be as bad as when I bought my house in 2016, but its way worse right now.

Ive had two separate phone calls from investment groups wanting to buy my house. Ive laughed as I hung up on them.
Everyone has a price. I can say with 100% certainty if someone offered it to me, I would 100% sell without question. Granted, my number is stupid high (relatively speaking) and way above market value and they would be paying for my inconvenience, but I would be one of those people, without question. The reason I laughed the two investment groups that called me is that their offer was fair market value.mdreid said:all it takes is some investment group to pay that one greedy owner 1 million for a average house then you have San Fran 2.0FlossyDFlynt said:I feel for anyone trying to buy right now.

Does anyone have any idea if the market is bad at all price levels? I'm in a smaller house right now that I bought in 2018.

I am obviously on the low end of the market at the moment (150k is as much as I am willing to spend on this condo) and based on discussions with my realtor, its still crazy up to the 400k range.

Same in Charlotte --- at all price levels. Really tough on 1st time homeowners, because of the competition for prices in that range, and the lack of equity/credit for many.

I did check one in my area that is a newer build that was listed for 720k and was under contract the day after it went active, so I would assume everything is going at a fire sale rate

Just when I thought the housing market was going to ultimately cool off.
Ive had two separate phone calls from investment groups wanting to buy my house. Ive laughed as I hung up on them.
I did check one in my area that is a newer build that was listed for 720k and was under contract the day after it went active, so I would assume everything is going at a fire sale rate
I think I lost track about whether it was a serious post when you linked it to a new world order and a control grid.GuerrillaPack said:bsorry11 said:Is this a serious post?GuerrillaPack said:ncsualum05 said:
I really don't like this news honestly. I mean... yes for the RTP and high income tech careers this is good. And yes it helps the economy.
But these corporations are now too powerful and pushing their pollical cultural values on conservatives like myself. Our state government will have to bow to Apple going forward with any legislation which it no doubt already does with other big companies like Amazon in NC. It seems like the tech companies are on the front lines of corporate woke tyranny. I do not want NC to become a blue lefty state. I don't want state level republicans to bow to greed and/ or woke pressure. I don't want our culture to become like California.
I'm sure I'll get flack for this post but that's how I feel today.
Agreed 100%. And Apple is just a wicked corporation, that is now focusing on 5G and Artificial intelligence, technologies to advance the tyrannical NWO agenda. Artificial intelligence will phase humans out of certain jobs, driving up unemployment. And both technologies are weapons systems to set up a high-tech control grid where they can track and trace the population, and spy on everything we do.
Why wouldn't it be? Just because you aren't aware of the dangers of 5G, artificial intelligence, and the many other makevolent agendas of Big Tech companies...that doesn't mean I'm "joking". You are aware that companies like Google and Facebook are spying on everything you do on their platforms, right? And they can listen to what you say via your phone (not only on a phone call, but also in conversations within earshot of the phone) as long as the phone has power/battery. These companies are working in tandem with the government to set up a surveillance and control system.
If you're a relator, do you know the answer to my question? Are homes on the higher end just as competitive as those in the $200-600k range?PackDaddy said:FlossyDFlynt said:I am obviously on the low end of the market at the moment (150k is as much as I am willing to spend on this condo) and based on discussions with my realtor, its still crazy up to the 400k range.

5k in due diligence is the bare minimum. Every price level is crazy with multiple offers. I've conceded 1/3 of my commission from the buy side for we can go over appraisal and actually get a home with my last two buyers
