I wonder what koan i s seeing in Alaska because there is where older folks are buying after selling their houses in the contiguous states for a handsome profit.

ted, are you seeing a lot of inflow of overseas capital in the housing and commercial construction in Seattle? If yes then it is good since construction is the enabler of the economic boom, I think.

What do you folks think about the action the Treasury deptt. took today on curbing this trend of inversions? I think too many people have taken advantage of US economic policies in the name of free markets. Even US citizens!!!!

They have to rent an older ranch home with bidding wars when they come on the rental market...

Hasn't that usually been the case? The only affordable new houses tend to be in the exurban areas of a metro.........or condos/townhouses in city..
