@Karl McGarveyYour interest rate on your vehicle is historically low.

Basically, if the mortgage payments are too high, then the banks won't give them the loan for their home.Right now interest rates are at historical lows and the mortgage rates are actually determined by the bond markets.

Inventory is still low and interest rates are historic lows.

Mortgage rates are still historically low, and the COVID-19 pandemic has prompted many people to consider buying larger homes as “remote working” becomes a permanent arrangement for some.

I also want to run some ad hoc/routine analyses of historical/recent sales data in my area so that I can get a better sense of the market and recent trends, and possibly develop some insights on future performance. 

Specifically. places where the millennials are attracted to are interesting as they are becoming the biggest renter and homebuyer group(Note: Be careful with 'historical' data.

You KNOW that you're getting a great rate now, whether it's 3% or 5%- historically, those are amazing rates. 

I’m facing a similar issue with an old historic building I’m converting into 8 apartments.

Big houses and a historic neighborhood they're trying to revamp.

It's a property that with the most direct comps that are available, is probably an ARV of $250k, however, most of those comps aren't fully renovated, and are more plain/boring homes, while this home is a 100+ year old, historic Victorian that I believe can sell for quite a bit higher potentially, but I can't risk getting into it making that assumption.
