I know you can get some below 8%. Far cry from the <3% a couple years ago.

or about $333 per sq ft and new houses are still being built for about the same price.

Its crazy to see what houses have done in just 3 years.

[ in reply to Neighbor just sold their house for $600,000 cash ] |

When I was renting on Isle of Palms I looked at buying this house, but felt it was too much for how big the house was and how much work it needed.
https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/25-21st-Ave-Isle-Of-Palms-SC-29451/10935333_zpid/
Looking back, I should have bought every one of those houses for sale at that price. That Zestimate is probably a little low now. In reality it's prob closer to that $1.2-$1.3 million range, which would essentially be doubling the price in just 2.5 years.
I've mentioned this one before:
https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/20-25th-Ave-Isle-Of-Palms-SC-29451/10936144_zpid/
That house was for sale $635K in 3/21. I put an offer for $655k the first day it was for sale, was out bid immediately, and it sold for $685K--$50K over asking. The owner, whether its a company of a person, has done absolutely nothing to it--the way it looks in pics is the way it looked in person for sale in 2021. They have never lived in the house--it has ben a rental since it sold; they only made payments for 2 years, and almost doubled their money with almost zero investment.

as it was 40 years ago. But of course, most houses were a lot smaller than they are now, too.
Unless you live in the old village in Mt Pleasant, and its the EXACT same 1100 sq ft houses from 1960 selling for a $1.5 million now.

Theyt may never get under 4-5% again. And housing prices will never again be what they were in 2019.
I wouldn't sell unless you have to. If you can afford to keep it and rent it out and buy somewhere else, that would be the best answer IMO.

I havr no plan on selling. Zilch. I have better chance of Clemson winning the National Title than I would deciding to sell. I am just talking about rents. I want to rent it possibly and move in a couple of years for a few years. I will be renting if I move as well. My place is an amazing investment. I am thrilled with it. I am just wondering where the rents are going for me renting my place out, as well as rents elsewhere.

Then I might get stuck where I am then. I like moving around, but my cost of living and mortgage is really low, so I am keeping it for decades, if I live that long. I want to see other places though and would rent with interest rates so high, if the rents were just ridiculous. Time will tell. Wilmington is a nice spot. Just want toive in a couple more places before is kick the bucket one day.

Some metro areas are finally understanding they need more density and are building again, and adjusting other regulations. In Auckland, NZ, these changes helped steady rent increases.

Oct 23, 2023, 2:16 PM

Rent is a function of supply/demand. What about those mechanics change in major metro areas? Maybe demand fluctuates based on domestic policy, but the impact of supply on price is agnostic, economic law. If Auckland was able to stabilize rent by allowing for more supply, the principle holds for US cities.
