I'm selling our old house, have been working on getting it into tip top shape to get top dollar for it. In our area things are going for $101/sqft and that's the low end.

Our current house, when we bought it, we got for a steal of a deal because it was right before the Covid craziness. Now everyone is wanting to get out of the cities. So I'm thinking about selling this one, too, because we can make a decent profit on top of this without doing anything to it. I'm wanting to buy more acreage in the middle of no where and the houses I'm watching are selling the same day they're listed. It's crazy.

Just curious what you've seen in your areas, if any of you are watching the market.

Wife and I look all the time at various parts of the country. Plots of land in the middle of nowhere used to be $20k, now $30k. In my major city burb, everything is up 15-25%. Major cities themselves are down about 15%-ish. But smaller places, smaller cities, jumps are about 25-40%. In essence, high population areas have a lot of inventory and are worth a bit less. Everywhere else, it's going up, up, up. There are no more good deals.

In "fly over country" properties that were going for 12K-20K as late as early spring of 2020 are now going for 10 times that. It's been an obvious move to capitalize on the controlled insanity from major cities allowing themselves to be burned to the ground.
