I heard in September you can buy homes cheap when they start evictions if the cdc does not extend their stay

When my wife and I saw the house prices rocketing this was our conversation

Wife: We could sell our 200K house and make 100K to buy a bigger house!

Me: and buy what? That bigger house cost more too?

Wife: Well now we have 100K to put down...

Me: That's now how any of this works. Lets say we magically walk away with all 100K in profit. Well that 4 bedroom house also inflated, and now costs 350K - 400K. So We went from a remaining mortgage of 120K to 250K to 300K?? The only people upgrading in this scenario is the damn bank.

My wife and I thought about doing the same thing, and then realized the same thing. It really sucks for people that have grown up in this area their whole lives. It's cheaper for everyone coming here from other places, but those that are natives can't really afford to buy a house now if they are just starting out, or afford to sell and buy something bigger/nicer.

Actually no it's not cheaper for everyone coming there from other areas. Your area is super expensive compared to many other areas in the south and midwest. Are you suggesting most people moving there are coming from more expensive areas in the northeast or west coast ?

Yes they are

The best thing to do would be to move to a much lower priced market. But that's not really easy for most people. You could also pocket the money and rent for a while, although renting is inflated as well. If you knew the market was going to correct in the not-too-distant future, that would be the thing to do. But who knows that? That's hard to tell.

It crazy to think i already moved to a lower market to get out of the city market. I like where I am and don't want to move further, so that means I just save more. 'Tis life.
 
If south West Virginia is getting commuter trains there should be nothing stopping Wilkes co. I would like to see a train from mount airy to Asheville with one stop in north Wilkesboro and hickory.

Wilkesboro is always going to be N.C.’s taint! End of story
 
RDU has had a very noticeable lack of extreme heat this summer...and extreme temperatures this year in general. The warmest maximum temperature was 94°F, on May 26th. So far this July is coming in at 2.2°F cooler than normal. It's possible we could exceed 94°F in August or even September, but this year has been lacking in temperature extremes here (after RDU reported no low temperatures below 20°F all winter, and no high temperatures below 35°F). The average minimum temperature for an entire year in RDU from 1991-2020 was 12.1°F, and the average maximum temperature for the entire year was 99.6°F.

Yet, despite the lack of extreme heat, this weather still sucks. Fall can't come soon enough. Even a cooler than normal summer can still be miserable.

Avg max of 100 in Raleigh seems a bit high. So on average you can expect it to hit 100 every year in Raleigh ?

Hence why I call this the most boring year ever if you like weather .
 
I like the cold and heavy low clouds prior to a snow storm more than the actual snow storm. With just a giant random flurry or two. Nothing beats that feel. I’m over it when the ground is white.
