I'm not a fan of debt, but my wife is eager to buy a house. Currently, we rent a spacious house for $5K (valued at $1.7M). If we buy a similar house, I'd have to shell out over $10K monthly, plus $3K in property tax and maintenance fees. We both are employed in tech and our investments yield a solid...Read more
Folks. Google layoffs are not a good sign for Silicon Valley home owners. Do we expect Silicon Valley home prices to crash? This Gen AI thing will enable companies to outsource jobs to LCOL places.
