Home prices are going to start falling, and it's going to be a major shitshow for the country

51. Yes, of course. And once again it's location location location.

In my sad prediction of the next few years in the US, I foresee millions upon millions of people from all over, not just the US, fleeing the coasts and clamoring for homes where it isn't so hot, wet and floody.

(As a deterrent I offer Missoula, Rocky Mountain forest fires, Lauren Boebert, and plenty of crazy ass mass murders. The middle of the country is not risk-free to live in and some of the cop-teams are monstrous. White supremacists rule certain counties and want more. So crowded the crime rate is bound to spike. )

Right now the inventory is so tight in Denver I have people cold-calling me about my home near downtown Denver all the time. Crowds of people pass my windows on the way to newer nearby shopping and restaurants. Used to be--not tumbleweeds, but real quiet around here.

I fear for those who must escape their beautiful coastal areas when EVERYBODY around them is frantically trying to sell and leave. That will be hard. But I'm pretty sure it's gonna happen.
