Realestate keeps up with basically inflation. Calling 2008 a blip? What? It had houses that sold for 270k in 07 listed for 90k in 2010. That's not a blip, thats a correction.

People may not look at it as an issue, but the amount of 2nd homes people bought during this boom was a huge number. It's definitely an issue, just everyone wants to just point fingers at the big companies, but it's the market over all.

In areas where they matter that's a ton of homes. This also doesn't include owners that own 10-20 homes either. One of the issues we have is so many of the single family homes are owned by someone else and being rented out.

What? Population of modernized societies usually decreases, we're on a downward slope now.

Uhh it's really not, black rock alone owns around 60k homes. Those are just the big players. There are a ton of smaller shops out there owning a few k. It all adds up really quick.

Yea, but don't tell this to /r/realestate or anyone who got in on the over bidding....they only think their house value will increase forever. It's like everyone has memory loss and doesn't think 2008 ever happened.

These look UK only yea?

I'll give these a go, I've bought so many different brands, each just fail on me after each winter season.

I've yet to find a pair of rubber boots that hold up past 6 months of farm life. Almost all of mine have failed where the toes bend. The amount of constant flex causes them to crack in that area and at that point their useless for winter/wet weather.
