Plus the trades are aging fast and many will retire and we have a generation of college kids come up who can't tell a 2x4 from a 2x8.Sub 300k inventory (in our market) is the lowest and limited to existing homes - the cost of land, materials and labor force builders into the 400-600 range, so starter homes are like bit-coin: finite supply.Wrapping it all up I dont believe we will see an economic slow down have significant impact on the RE markets - at least certainly not to the tune for 2008.
