It’s also quite difficult to go back in time and buy a house in Seattle 5 years ago.

Don’t fool yourself into thinking that buying into what would become a ridiculously hot market is much more than dumb luck.

I rent in a neighborhood in Seattle that has homes that sell from anywhere between 700k to tens of millions, and a lot of houses that I'm looking at aren't selling. The market is so saturated with people trying to sell their homes for more than they are worth, which is a notable change in what is an extremely hot housing market.
