    now you see climate change isn’t a big deal because those who would be impacted can just sell their house and move

    So does this mean super cheap houses for sale now or sellers wanting super high prices and that issue for the buyer?

      Its price. Dad sold his house for ~120k. 4 years later sells again for 250k. Houses where I went to college went from 200k to 400k-500k. Its insane. These are like 2-3 bedroom houses too, in a decent area, but not the “best”.

        It’s everywhere, not just Florida. House prices have doubled in my po-dunk little college town in rural Ohio, but nothing is selling. They aren’t even pretending that prices are based on anything any more.

        Is this supposed to be high or low? I genuinely can’t tell
        And when was it

          100k was pretty doable for workers where my dad lived. 200k is a stretch, basically destroys the “expendable” portion of a budget there. The 200k was near to Disney (within an hour), and pay was somewhat higher, so kinda doable for a lower-middle class person. 400k isn’t doable for anyone but those interested in landlording. Monthly payments are higher then rents, and rents are already barely doable.
