Dude, I’m from Michigan. It’s getting expensive there fast. If you think you’re immune to what is happening everywhere else you are in for a rude awakening.
Before my wife and I left in 2014 or so we looked at a decent bungalow in Kalamazoo for roughly 40,000. Now you can’t find a house in that neighborhood for under 150k- and it will be a dump.
I bought a house there around a year ago before deciding it wasn’t a good fit and I still made like 15k after 10 months. It’s insane.
Mind you a good job in Kalamazoo pays 60-80k tops? Sure remote work is a thing but it’s a leash.
Traverse City or Ann Arbor are bordering on Portland prices and there are limited job prospects in either place relative to Portland.
This would’ve been unacceptable to our parents but they’re making a killing off of their investments so they don’t give a shit.
I don’t know what is happening but housing is getting expensive everywhere and fast.
