We are our own worst enemies. There are no goyim buying the townhouses. If we would just not buy at these 900,000 prices then those prices would not exist. So a few rich people are selfish and buy and then that becomes the new normal price.
ReplyDeleteSame for Jackson Toms River Manchester etc. Nobody else is buying. Why are we outbidding each other so that houses are selling for 80,000 over asking price ? We are only bidding against acheinu bnei Yisrael so there is no excuse except for selfishness.
In Gateshead , nobody can buy a house unless you get permission from the Rabonim and houses stay reasonably priced. There is no excuse for one yid to outbid another in a market where there are no goyim even interested in looking at these houses. .
It's nice to know what they do in Gateshead England. Unfortunately that would not work here in the USA for many different reasons.
DeleteWho are the "We"
Deletethere are plenty people who would agree with you
but the selfish Highfalutin ones- and it is their own selfishness what makes them predominate in society and then we show them value sadly because of it and they- control Smugly and happily control and consider it part of religious worship to be in control, they have a lot of groupies and lackeys and hangers-on
It is also young married kollel families who are desperate to buy and having every ounce of their savings as well as their parents go to buy a 900k duplex. Prices are crazy. I hope the real estate Lakewood market crashes to enable families to buy affordable houses once again.
DeleteGateshead-reference is well-taken
ReplyDeleteused to bother some of us all the regulations here
I think part of the crazy prices now is the huge increase of price in wood. It skyrocketed. This should only affect new construction though.
ReplyDeleteThe houses on the market are 10 years old. Not the new construction.
DeleteThe kollel guys have been priced out of the market
The chasidim are building new construction affordable housing. The
The houses keep getting built bigger and bigger and fancier and fancier. Maybe if people would forgo all the latest luxury upgrades the prices wouldn't be so high.
ReplyDeleteLakewood Real estate market Duplex homes listed from 800k - 900k other newer homes close to 1 million
ReplyDeleteThis can't be the standard Lakewood prices. Where are they charging and getting so much? Is this for eight bedroom houses with two rentable basements?
Builders build what buyers want. If buyers wanted smaller cheaper houses ONLY then thats what the builders would have to build. We as a society tend to blame others . We blame the builders for building big fancy houses as if we don't want that and then we blame the schools for being exclusive , when its really the parents that want that .
ReplyDeleteThe price of wood could add 25,000 to the price of a duplex. Not the 200,000 increase in the last 2 years .
ReplyDeleteLakewood school situation is a big mess we need outside intervention .
ReplyDeleteDon't really need intervention . If all the money our town spent on Pesach getaways and summer vacations and lexuses and 2 million dollar homes and 300 bottles of schnapps, and 500 dresses for little kids ,would be used for a fund to start and fund schools, then we could make 5 new high schools and have money to spare.
Well you arent getting that money so give it up. There is enough money for both so work on that end.
DeleteWhat will all the homeowners do with their houses when Moshiach comes? Sell for the 5th of the price?
ReplyDeleteThe higher the cost of the homes then the higher the basement apartments have to permanently be to help offset the insane mortgage.
