Yeah, and people that buy homes like this don’t want new housing built in California because it will lower their property values, I feel like eventually people are gonna have to move to make any moves
@@queenofweaves916 exactly, like even your making 100k a year, a million dollar home is unrealistic to ever pay off or get a loan on. It’s time to look beyond California
North America is unliveable. Pay attention. Other than a few mining towns that have been dying for the last 140 years, and a few enclaves either remote or infested with crime, there isn't a place to go to. Prepare to live in a van and move often.
A lot of them are hiding their money by buying multiple homes in CA and elsewhere (you don't know who they are because they set up a fake LLCs to buy the properties). If you live in a nice neighborhood, just look at all the homes that are unoccupied. Most are owned by corrupt foreign officials and businesspeople hiding their money.
4.25 MILLION for a 4 bedroom house on a busy street with no view, no pool, no acreage, and ugly ass kitchen backslash that comes with a 55k per year tax bill and will probably have homeless tents out front within a year? NO THANKS! These buyers must be on drugs.
“These rates are sustainable, as long as the supply stays LIMITED” Yeah. Damn near everyone who owns their home is staying put and 3K+ rent is common place. People can barely afford rent, let alone cost of living + saving just to sign your life away to secure a house at 35+% markup…
You're right but keep in mind that it's the buyers who jack up the prices---not the sellers. IMO, we need more housing for so many very obvious reasons.
No, it's not housing that's needed. It's jobs that pay living wages. Already, rental evictions and foreclosures are increasing. That indicates the problem isn't supply, nor even demand. People aren't getting paid enough to live indoors. The housing that's proposed to be built is far too expensive compared to real incomes..
@@ripperduck living wages in SF is 100K. 2 people = 200k/year. 1/3 for logging = 16,667 per month. so a 3000/month rent or buying a 2 million dollar house is no big deal.
And there are some people who pretend that this is a good thing. The people who live in these neighborhoods are also the strongest opponents of building more housing or cracking down on institutional investors, because it will mean lower property values for them.
@@ripperduck Developers aren't going to build housing if nobody can afford it. Maybe lower-income people cant afford new housing, but upper-middle and upper-income people can. And it's not just market-rate housing that nimbys oppose, it's also affordable housing!

You’re going to have to learn how to become your own general contractor, because any GC firms will quote you in relation to the housing market.

They are not sustainable for two reasons: 1) Wall Street investors are typically the ones putting bids way over the asking (more rentals, no more buying). 2) eventually someone will have to pay MORE than what the originally person bought it for… which will hit a wall eventually.
Market conditions are sustainable…when did we hear that before…2008? Yeah, it was the reverse of buyer’s market but still same shoe. Now maybe those particular homes, unless they paid cash or had one of those special niche mortgages, the bottom for these half or more “over asking” frenzy will result in many being under water in value or monthly costs not to mention when they get hit with the property tax. And that’s regardless of the zipcode.
If I was going to buy a home it certainly would not be in Berkeley. The average commission for a single realtor is about 2.5% of the selling price, could be more in the Bay Area, the realtor who sold this house did very very well, probably made almost 150 grand on selling this single house, could be more…
It's nice but you couldn't pay me to live in Berkeley. You can't just live inside your house. You have to go out sometime and when you do you'll be in Berkeley.
Think of states like neighborhoods. California is one of the most expensive. Old craftsman,well maintained and now completely upgraded. Too much for me both in price and space, however still a gorgeous house.
Very nice house and neighborhood. I helped paint a house not three blocks from there. I can almost understand the price. Bay area is gonna be a ghost town soon.
If I think of states like neighborhoods in California is the most expensive shouldn’t it be the nicest? Why is suburban Kentucky clean and safe and the bay area reeks of urine as you Uber to work because your catalytic converter was stolen
I grew up In Berkeley our house was up in the Berkeley Hills near the Tilden Park Golf Course, Lake Anaza, and the Merry-Go-Round. The area where this house sold looks familiar our family used to drive up Ashley to get onto the freeway, I remember some classmates from 9th grade lived up there off Ashby. There were a lot of neighborhoods east of College Avenue.
"this is sustainable as long as the supply stays low" And there's the secret California likes to ignore. These places aren't really that expensive, they are artificially kept that high due to Nimbyism. I also wouldn't call that sustainable, you will eventually run out of super rich ppl to buy these.
When we will get rid of the real estate agent ? Everything can be made to be done online and sold without agents 6% fee means the seller paid $255k to sell that house. Ridiculous
There are millions of people who could wipe their ass with 1.5 million dollars everytime they shit the rest of their lives and they won’t even notice a dent in their account.
Stupid! I've lived in CA all my life and wish I could leave this horrible state and God Awful Gruesome, but my wife refuses to leave. Who would over pay for a corner lot house with all that traffic? Don't get me wrong the house is awesome, but not worth it! Just wait till the big one hits!
Let's tax these sales 25% and use that to build affordable homes. If they can pay $1million or $4 million for a home, they can dish up $250,000 to an extra million to build affordable homes.
That’s absolutely ridiculous! It’s these wealthy people who mess it up for the people who actually need a average home to reside in, instead of living in the streets.

The tech ppl don’t even have to leave there homes to make more than 6 figures while the average worker makes nothing compared to them plus pay more bills. Wait till it get to the point of no return then see what ppl with nothing to lose will do. I have a home in SF but it’s sad to see thing going in this direction.
Meanwhile for $4 million I can buy a 20+ unit rental property and have an on-going source of income (so long as I stay away from Berkeley, SF and other Lefty strongholds).
For the clowns claiming the answer is building more housing, why are cities/counties allowing already existing, affordable housing the be destroyed in order to build junk no one can afford? An apartment renting for $2,500/month means $30k/year in rent. If 30% of income should go to housing, a person would need to ear at least $100,000/year income. How many jobs are being created anywhere in CA that pay at least that much? Very few, and only in a tiny sector of the economy. Yet, a $2,500/month apartment is cheap in the Bay Area. This is why you have overcrowding, it'll take more roomies than what the apartment can hold in order to make the rent.
Nope, pull up a geographical map. Every bit of usable land n that area that could be developed, has been developed. Either they start building high-rise apartments, or all the current inventories just going to continue to skyrocket in value
Well, this is not healthy …….. Congratulation$ to the real e$tate agent. Who is buying these homes ? In other states you easily could buy an entire city block or more for this amount .
You want cheaper housing? Increase density and supply. But I don’t really think most Americans want cheaper housing bc they’re already homeowners & it means values will go down.
Can you tell me how does, "Increase density and supply" will change make the prices of homeownership or rentals GO DOWN IN PRICE? I think people are still resorting to their "Economics 101" class from years and years ago, whereby that may have been the case. But, now there's new players in town, Investor Groups and Foreign Investors, real estate and tax loopholes, that enable all of these new "players" in town to CHANGE the real estate landscape FOREVER.
@@tillygirl7450 It's a fundamental economic principle that when supply exceeds demand for a good or service, prices fall. When demand exceeds supply, prices rise. Would regulating foreign buyers help? Sure bc it reduces demand. But it’s not the main thing driving California’s insanely high prices. It’s that supply has not kept up with demand. These are just facts. These are fundamentals of economics here.

Jesus is there no growth in the Bay Area anymore?
Nope, pull up a geographical map. Every bit of usable land n that area that could be developed, has been developed. Either they start building high-rise apartments, or all the current inventories just going to continue to skyrocket in value
who else thought if this house sold for a dollar I'm going to kill myself
These home prices will crash soon. Especially for us regular folks
Now the sellers are buyers.
Who T F keeps buying way over?
Eat The Rich
Well, this is not healthy ……..
Congratulation$ to the real e$tate agent.
Who is buying these homes ? In other states you easily could buy an entire city block or more for this amount .
Now listen to the stones and paint that red door black
You want cheaper housing? Increase density and supply. But I don’t really think most Americans want cheaper housing bc they’re already homeowners & it means values will go down.
Can you tell me how does, "Increase density and supply" will change make the prices of homeownership or rentals GO DOWN IN PRICE?
I think people are still resorting to their "Economics 101" class from years and years ago, whereby that may have been the case.
But, now there's new players in town, Investor Groups and Foreign Investors, real estate and tax loopholes, that enable all of these new "players" in town to CHANGE the real estate landscape FOREVER.
@@tillygirl7450 It's a fundamental economic principle that when supply exceeds demand for a good or service, prices fall. When demand exceeds supply, prices rise. Would regulating foreign buyers help? Sure bc it reduces demand. But it’s not the main thing driving California’s insanely high prices. It’s that supply has not kept up with demand. These are just facts. These are fundamentals of economics here.
Once I heard neighborhood I was like yea those houses are expensive
Probably some crypto billionaires. 🤣🤣
That's a lot for Berkeley. Just go 2 miles west and you're in the hood. For that much I'd look for something in Los Altos or Mill Valley.
Makes me sick.
All that Fed money flooding in.
