Not quite San Fran, but 1.50 hours to the Wood is a bonus and $250 sq ft is a fuckin steal in my simple mind.

$250/ft seems to be pretty damn good most places. What's wrong with that house?
The thing is CA taxes are not burdensome once you have owed a home there forever thanks to prop 13. My property taxes are .0013 X value for the year. You're never going to get that in CO or likely any other state. Disregarding that, per the below chart the total tax burden is really no big deal in my mind:

Is there a Calc on that chart? Cali income tax varies obviously into double digits. Sales tax high single digits.
Taxes in California are high. Don’t mean to be controversial but they are.
California taxes are about average for people of average income/wealth. It’s the high taxes on high earners where it stands apart.

Sales going to plumb the 08 lows next year.

Here that just means the wealthy will buy an expensive property, and also the one next to it for privacy. And I'm not joking.
No idea how accurate this is but Global Real Estate Bubble Risks: https://www.ubs.com/global/en/wealth...ble-index.html
As far as I am aware, almost every developed country in the world except the US has adjustable rate mortgages as default and fixed rate mortgages (in the way that Americans use that term) are exceptionally rare outside the US.
Canada, UK, Australia, eurozone countries, etc are all adjustable rate mortgages that will adjust to new monthly payment amounts as central bakes raise rates.
Worth noting that what Canada calls a fixed rate mortgage is not a fixed rate mortgage by US definitions.
Good news. STR hosts switching to LTR. Too late and too greedy:
Airbnb hosts say bookings ‘fell off a cliff’ amid influx of new vacation rentals and rising prices
'We went from 80% [occupancy] to zero,' one host says in a common refrain among property owners who say they saw a sudden decline in the summer months

^^Excellent news.
You can get a fixed rate but the % charged is higher depending on how long of a fixed rate you choose and the payments are amortised over 25 years or whatever you chose, my last mortgage was amortised over 30 yrs so I didnt have to get a job while waiting for mom to die
Variable rate mortgages have been very popular cuz they were cheaper when rates are low but now you thro in rising rates/ inflation/ yada/ yada some people may now might have mortgage payments they can't afford when they have to remortgage
but nobody could have foreseen this ;)
I guess rates over 6% will kill business? Who knew?

We are seeing STR being advertised as "medium term" and some as long term in the MLS now. Bozeman only so far. I have clients with STR properties in Big Sky and wondering if they are already seeing decrease in their advanced bookings yet.
I sure hope so, as price increases this year of 50% in Mammoth from last year are dumb and annoying.
Stay in a hotel. Fuck STR.
Also, all real estate is local isn't just a cliche
