massive retirement of Boomers over the next ten years -- that will permanently raise interest rates all over across the board.
They have inverted demographic pyramids while ours is mostly shaped like a column.
GNL says
Why would retiring boomers cause higher rates "all across the board"?
Because retirees go from being net investors to net consumers (but not like their younger years). You are in your peak earning years (50s) you sock away large amounts of money for retirement. Then you pay nothing and start taking out. Plus, we are going to have skilled labor shortages for another 10 years or so.
This is why most of Europe and Asia are demographically fucked. They have inverted demographic pyramids while ours is mostly shaped like a column.
I'd say it's more of a rhombus

Seattle is a shit hole in my opinion. Love Washington, not Seattle or Tacoma though. Not sure who would be dumb enough to buy in Seattle after morons took over blocks of the city. Copious amounts of homeless by my standards.

This should be a good time to buy your shack in case if you live away from crazy urban areas while the bubble is blowing up. Especially gov is behind massive printing to keep the inflation in double digits.
Shouldn't we wait to buy until the 100s of millions die of Suddenly?

Meanwhile, in the area I live (DC/Northern Virginia), most people live in their homes maybe 5 years or so.
Not a Mariner fan are you, WookieMan?

Bond manager Mark Kiesel sold his California home in 2006, when he presciently predicted the housing bubble would pop. He bought again in 2012, after U.S. prices fell more than 30% and found a floor.
Now, after a record surge in prices, Kiesel says the time to sell is once again at hand.
