What’s the range of your antenna? Where are you setting it up in your house?

Just wondering what makes you think people will want to move? Most people refuse to sell because there is nothing to buy.

I can share the same commiseration, except our budget is a bit higher and we still have nothing to look at.
We just signed a new lease at an apartment after paying blackmail-level fees to get out of a really bad one; they wouldn’t allow a short-term lease (nobody does) so we had to sign a 1-year lease. Getting out of that apartment if we HAPPENED to find a house would also be blackmail-level, so we just have to stop looking for now.
I feel pretty stuck.

Bold of you to assume any seller will work with FHA financing

Doctors and nurse practioners write prescriptions. Pharmacists fill them.

So much depends on where you are.
Where I am, on the side of a ridge, I have zero OTA service available to me. Calculations say I'd need a 60 foot tower to start getting enough signal strength to view.
If you are in a flatter location, but a weak signal area, you may need to aim that antenna more precisely. There are websites that can give you the exact compass heading for each station.

If Lamont is going to use our recent windfall preserve business, he should lower taxes and make the state more business friendly. Not piss it away on pie in the sky hyperexpensive public transit that will never help any place like Enfield.

Is Fairfield County not in Connecticut?

Reply to comment by cforbinn in Connecticut’s gas tax is returning incrementally. What’s going on? by NicoleMcIsaac
Require less maintenance, yes. No oil changes required and it is a motor instead of an engine. Past EV's are a much higher upfront cost, and when you need to do maintenance, the parts, such as wheel motors, batteries and control systems, are significantly more. Beyond that's it is easier to fix an engine, than a motor so people who work on their own cars also see their cost skyrocket.
I was a nuclear officer in the navy and am an electrical engineer. I also have both a Tesla model S and an Infiniti Q50. You're not going to show me an article that changes the actual math and research I've done on the subject.

rent + $1000
Reference to that even if rents are escalated right now, they're still no worse than buying a house at current inventory levels.

Lol at a rent for only $1000 a month. I can't even find a tiny one bedroom for under $2000 that isn't a complete shithole.

Edit: EV’s are more reliable and have less maintenance than ICE vehicles.

Inventory is really all that matters. The pandemic was easily the largest demand pull our economy has seen in history (unsustainable low rates) so we know recent prices are entirely unsustainable on demand alone.......which has now cratered to all time record lows, naturally.
With money literally raining down from the sky (PPP loans being the scam of the century) everything escalated quickly and it's literally guaranteed there will be a long painful hangover. Let's all enjoy the ride.

I bought a 5 bedroom 3 bathroom house on 2 acres with 300k in CT… in spring 2020 right before lockdown began.

This gives me some hope of course maybe I should just be patient about it. Last year I originally didn’t expect things to be better till 3rd quarter this year haha but it’s just annoying just waiting when you don’t know what will come

I suspect you’ll have more inventory popping up in the spring. You’re near a military family area, too, which helps. People will put their houses up for sale in spring and summer and move before next school year starts up.

I'd be careful about that "money we make" assumption. I bought at the 2006 peak. Took 15 years for the price to get back above that peak.

The antenna has nothing to do with the signal being digital or analog; "digital" or "high definition" antennas are just marketing slogans. Reception quality would be based on antenna location (inside or outside), height above ground, distance to the station, any obstructions (building or hills) between the antenna and station and several other factors.
