Just wondering are people actually leaving or just becoming residents of other states and keeping their homes here. Saving money on Ct income tax that may help pay for their second home.

Housing already prices seem down 10-20% from the high. Tanking may not happen as it did in 2008 recession as housing values is what fueled that recession. Most people aren’t underwater on their mortgages and won’t be able to find anything with the prices at 7% interest when they were getting them for 3. As you were saying payments are higher with higher by about 80%. So buying another house becomes less attractive cause home owners can’t get the house they have for the same payment. So volume may stay low. Price I think will slowly ease.

Haven’t been seeing that. Most places have been sitting on Zillow. Probably will be that way until prices come down with interest rates at 7%

This is a problem in Ma as well, public transport is notoriously unreliable forced some people i know to buy a car. CT traffic seems worse now Covid is basically over and people migrated out of ny to ct.

Lol this is why Lamont is weak. 10 dollars and theres an income limit... Eversource just told him to bend over.

You could always just go into a trade… electricians, plumber, hvacs make a good wage. I’m jealous some of electricians are making 1500 a day for a job. When I was growing up my mother thought I’d go into a trade, then it turned out I was good a math and such. School isn’t the only path.

Definitely. The checks and balances are gone and we a left with voting party lines and not voting for policies. The policies which we all seem to lament from our politicians. Meanwhile congress at the federal level won’t bring a bill which the majority of people support related to congressional stock trading. I’m not sure what’s in the bill exactly but it does feel like the will of people isn’t being represented here. Which is funny cause the people blocking it are saying “democracy is on the ballot”.
