Omaha market seem to follow that. I’m guessing warm regions may peak in winter months though?

I think it's largely related to people moving between school years

You shouldn’t think of your home as an investment but congrats to everyone who owns one

It's still surprising the jump is that large every year

Supply & demand. Most people aren’t looking to move mid school year, so quite a bit fewer houses listed.

Housing prices can be influenced by a lot of things but the big buckets you can throw most of them in are 1. Interest rates and 2. Supply and demand.

Interest rates are straight forward and pretty obvious. Although the Fed does not directly control real estate interest rates, they heavily influence them. I don't believe the Fed will raise interest rates  significantly for at least 1-2 years, maybe more, for a large variety of reasons.

Supply is short and probably will remain that way. Almost all materials for housing is way up in price. Labor to build those houses are short, so they cost more. The super hot market could be a bubble in the eyes of developers, so it's scary to go balls deep in developments when everything is expensive to build and the bubble could theoretically pop before you could sell at a profit. Long story short, new houses aren't coming online near fast enough to satisfy the demand.

The wild card is how many people are delinquent on payments and how many will get foreclosed. Almost everyone has equity in their homes right now and I believe the demand is strong enough that any people at risk of foreclosure will be able to sell at a profit this not creating a big supply of empty houses like in 2008-2010.

Lol. I had a plan to long term buy 3-4 augmented reality stocks a few years ago. This was one of them. I have absolutely no idea what happened with that plan, but it was never executed.

Because bonds are worthless and interest rates are zero right? Isn’t it that simple? I mean I’ve been at 100% pretty much since I started.

I feel like I've seen the same pic of this dude 100 times in my twitter feed over the last two months. And every time I see it, I just like it more. Like, "hey, buddy!"

BUZZ is now like .5% of my portfolio...TO THE MOON!

So far, this thing does seem to be correlated with meme stocks, which was my expectation.

Not really, I'm only showing a 9% return since I bought it back in March. I expected to be on the moon by now.
