Home Prices what the hell is going on?

Had a guy a month ago said he would pay me $4500 for my 02 Suburban with 260K on it, the truck is pretty clean and everything is fixed but I will end up with something like a 2007-08 Sub with the same mileage that needs a bunch of work for the same money as I sold mine for. I told him nope.
There is nothing wrong with that if you can afford to pay that price, but it will raise your cost of living.
Where I am you can’t find anything under 1,000,000 and that’s 45+ min east and 45+ min west of me. And Toronto, forget it. A shack will cost you $1.5 million. And you thought Vancouver was high.
The Millennials and up may never be able to afford a home unless they get in now since the bidding wars have stopped and prices and come down a bit but the interest rates have gone up. So either way your screwed.
My 1st house in ‘83 cost I think $83,000 and interest rates were 14.75 I think. I paid it off in 5 yrs. New houses in 1973 for an example a bungalow cost you $27,000.
My bungalow with 2600 sq ft finished basement, main floor all hardwood floors, huge 3 car garage and close to a 1 acre lot in 2010 cost us $600,000 and change, and today it’s worth $2.5 million.

The younger people at work are telling me what they're having to pay for rent, and it's like 2-3 times higher than my mortgage. They will never save enough for a down payment. The landlords and leasing people are raping everyone....just because they feel like they can.
And then the upper crust of society complain about the homeless issues?..??

If people weren’t so desperate to buy, sellers would have to drop. People are going to get too deep and then people stop making payments

Yep talk about being gouged.....
This is why I moved to to Middle Tennessee just to the East of Nashville . The cost of living here is so much more cheaper than it was in California . New construction houses are $300k or less and these houses are very nice
Here's some data I found on house pricing in Tennessee
July 2022, home prices in Tennessee were up 14.8% compared to last year, selling for a median price. On average, the number of homes sold was down 15.7% year over year and there were 7,834 homes sold in July this year, down 9,268 homes sold in July last year.
I live in a small town of 47k population about 35 minutes NE of Nashville along the Cumberland River

Moving around the country during my 30 year military career gave me some good insight in buying and selling homes. I am so fortunate to build our dream home 6 years ago before this madness started and now got it paid off. I feel terrible for the young folk trying to come up with a down payment for their first home. Average home in Canada has come down but it is still too stupid high!
