Good suggestion. I wonder about people buying right now where I'm at. The market is unsustainable. It's definitely a trainwreck waiting to happen. The last bust was in the 80's. You'd think they'd remember. And it was nothing compared to this steamroller. I signed on for another year lease to lock in my price. They only raised the rent $5 if I went for the year. It seemed a good hedge compared to losing $250 if I leave before that. For what I have I can't see them charging more, but I know what is happening to prices even for tiny studios around here. A saving grace may be that there are still too many undesirables in the building for it to appeal to the upscale crowd. We have this great older woman who lives here and regularly corrals the youngsters for short lectures. They all listen respectfully. Kinda sweet. And there's a guy in a wheelchair who never gets out of the building. He accepts people's packages for them. Pretty nice place.
