There is an intrinsic happiness to being right (as a Math major, maybe I over indulge in it), especially when against "common wisdom."

On the positive side, I get to run away for a month and watch the rents nose dive. You could argue it's the hiring freeze from Amazon, but I think, as stated, it's the blanket coming off and exposing the sick man underneath.
Even a stopped clock is right twice a day, as they say.

In the meantime, it seems Seattle leads the nation again in Feb’s YOY price increase: Seattle ties record for leading the nation in home prices | KOMO

Playtrix, you're joking, right? I can't imagine you really think the whole world is going to stop buying things online.

I realize this was a zombie thread from 2 months ago, but when the original article starts with "biggest decrease in rents" and then later in the article it says "2.9%" and then even later they say that's just a drop of the percentage raised vs average (and not an actual rent drop...) I mean, this is just shoddy journalism. Thanks for bringing back some recent numbers to show the BS of the original article.

Both of you are joking, right? You do realize Amazon is more than just "a website where people buy stuff" right? Even AWS (Amazon Web Services) makes more money than Amazon.com. They have some many projects out there making money that aren't related to their retail business.

Yes eightbit, quite aware. I gave the example most people could relate to, with a little tongue and cheek thrown in.

Both the condo market and SFH market remain strong in Seattle. Condos have seen a 22% YOY increase in Feb, and SFH sales have reached an all time high with a median sales figure of $777,000 in Feb. Lucky 7s!
