Real estate market absurd. Friend is thinking about moving from Vegas here to Phoenix so came down last weekend to check the place out.
In my zipcode which is 100% urban and mostly single family homes, there are a total of 7 houses listed for sale on Zillow. Of those 7, only 1 of them is listed for below $300,000. Looking at rents, only 6 houses are listed for rent. To put this into perspective 5 years ago I purchased my house for $155,000.
Im curious what everyone is paying for home owners insurance. In the span of 4 years mine has doubled while all coverage/deductible has remained exactly the same going form $650/yr to $1200/yr now. Has anyone else seen such huge increases?
