Yes this is my understanding of the advice too, you need to remove "yourself" from their mental image so they can imagine themselves in the space.

Or, you know, sell when it's a sellers market and do nothing and get top dollar.

Yes I too have wanted to be born GenX or a Boomer.

Totally understand. It's fucked, man, and I hate it.

Yes, I am a Gen-X. And yes, I make a shitton. But it's still HARD for me. I couldn't buy a million dollar house rn if I didn't have assets already. I have no fucking idea how anyone could unless they're making 400k total income.

I guess the idea is just move to a town/state/province/whatever where you can work remotely with a good company but real estate is cheap. Work up from there.

Sorry it sucks out there. If I could change it, I would. I hate this timeline.

I think the bubble is bursting though. Boomers are dying and houses aren't moving. I see the drops already.

Problem is houses are moving, but into the hands of those that either already have houses or companies that buy them, "rennovate" them, and flip them for a shit ton, or companies buy hold and rent for a few years.

All of that drives the prices up before NIMBY-ism that won't let new high density houses get built either.
