Zillow is out of the ibuyer market a while back. Not clear redfin now has bought any houses in Richmond
Airbnb has certainly not built any houses in Richmond. And is just not that big a deal, we aren't Austin or Nashville

I've heard that, but I don't believe that's correct. It also doesn't match my experience as a pizza freak that makes his own pizza dough. The big and obvious difference is technique, no one outside NYC metro knows how to make pizza dough I swear (exaggeration but...)
It also doesn't explain all the well known good places outside of new york.
The big issue here is no one spends time on the dough. It's a 4 day process for me, which used to be normal in NYC. No one making dough, with SUGAR, the same day they use it will turn out. a decent pizza dough ever.
I was talking with one of the partners at Mary Angelas once, the Italian guy, and asked him. He basically said Richmonders are savages who don't know what good pizza tastes like, and took the heart out of it for him, so why bother with all the effort?
tl;dr, it's not the water, it's the consumers demanding competence

sooner even with 30 year rates already at 7? I don't see them going that much up from here, 8 would be the worst and I'm not sure we see that. So why not wait for more buyers?
10 year is 4.01 I note. So room for yield spread compression

I understand, it's tough. But it's not going to do much for his life expectancy.
I used to be a fan of the concept, but too many dead cats (and dead birds)

pandemic had a big effect. But from 2017 it's everything you remember, plus more of it.
We don't say Manchester and the G word in the same sentence
Real estate is insane by Richmond standards. Might look pretty sane to you depending on where you are coming from.
City is actually a nicer place to live every year. And more urban

spring will almost always be better for sellers. The rule of thumb was always be on the market when the azaleas are blooming.

don't worry about the market, worry about your own life. When it's time for you to buy, and you find a place you like that you can afford, buy it.
You have plenty of time. June is 8 months away. Thats a huge amount of time.
And yes, rent will continue to go up

no comps?? That doesn't make sense.
Fan duplexes are hot and sought after. They have been so since 2012; They will remain so.

good theory, but didn't they shut down a lot of HELOCs in 2007 right as people needed them? I feel like they can be called or frozen, though a long time since I've seen the language. But banks don't want to be handing out bad credit puts.
I kind of think Helocs should be illegal.

5-10% is totally believable, and used to be downright normal. Also puts us only back to may of 2022 pricing or something ridiculous

no clue, but I'd be very pessimistic in Chesterfield. None have ever been approved sounds like don't bother.
The city used to have that approach, and has now actually seemed to realize it's idiotic, and is permitting ADUs with SUPs, and moving to change the code. This is awesome for homeowners and for renters, which should make it a no brainer, so my mind is utterly boggled that it's happening.
So while I'd guess Chesterfield would be the very last place in the area to approve it, who knows? Stil call your representatives

Any electrician can do it it's easy stuff in theory, the issue is how far away your panel is etc etc
People here are recommending the equivalent of s 30 amp dryer plug, which is certainly easy but it might not provide enough of the charge for your needs.
First calculate the charge needed then add a margin and work back from there.
I'm leery of everything that isn't hardwired because it just sounds like a hack homeowner thing but that might not be entirely fair.
