Yes I capture the fact that during Q3-Q4 2022, condo appreciation ranges between -10 to +5%.
While Single Family appreciation is between -5 to -35%. The more luxury it is, the worse is the appreciation. But that didn't happen in condo market.
So I have appreciated asset like a condo, where I can re-invest into an under-appreciated asset like Single Family.
This is one of the weirdest time in real estate market where the gap between high-end condo and low-end SF is only $100k.
There's also another phenomenan and this is more like in "general" observation, especially in CRE, the spread between bank lending and commercial lending is the highest now compare to 2008 era ! this is because the perceived higher risk of CRE investments. This give a very high reward/risk investment to invest in debt secutization like asset-backed MBS. When spread is normalized, the IRR is north of 20%. I almost see this as very riskless strategy to make money lol
