so check it...I moved to a new house last year. we closed in December.
when we were looking, 4 houses on the block were on the market. We saw all four and picked our one.
plus, a family renting across from us worked out some terms with the owner and purchased the home.
so thats five new families.
Then in the first 4 months, 3 more houses hit the market. We have a really active chat channel. it was literally, this: "Oh hey new neighbors! Welcome to the neighborhood!...aaaaaand we're leaving, bye byeeeeeee"
so then thats EIGHT new families since October.
then, two old people died, so thats an additional two houses now on the market.
It's a tight block that has block parties and the kids all hangout.
We had a covid-almost-done-winter-almost-done-cold-weather-neighborhang-thang, the whole vibe was "nice to meet you, also, who the fuck are you? I mean, welcome to the neighborhood, but, who the fuck are you?"
Essentially, the living people who moved saw that dollar signs and moved to snatch the bag up. Way fucking crazy.
