Purchase price: $735,000 Cash invested: $1,060,000 Sale price: $2,825,000 Single Family Home New Construction project in Sherman Oaks.

My primary property is a 3/2 1266 SF home on a 7500 lot.

Over the last 5 days, LGI Homes dropped by 13.91%, Tri Pointe Homes by 9.91%, Toll Brothers by 9.25%, and Meritage Homes by 8.94%.What is there to look forward to?

This caused it to get less traction as other homes at the same size.

It is also a little bit of speculation on my part that 1) home values will continue to appreciate at or above the inflation rate and 2) that eventually rates may drop 1 - 2% (I am at 7.5% on my most recent refinance) and will be able to do a cashout refi in 2 - 5 years.What are other's thoughts on this?

So one Primary, one Investment and one Vacation/Second home.

Here's why:While rents have increased, the home values have increased even more.
