If all you want to do is offer parity in perceived value and asking price you'll always have a difficult time, no matter the location or the market.

Also in terms of valuation of real estate, I look at rental parity: If it is cheaper to own than to rent : the asset is under valued whereas if it is cheaper to rent than to own : the asset is over valued.

ok. here's mine...one of my rentals has 7-9 cracks in the basement. most of them are diagonal. there was a tree 8 ft away (dont even tell me people should never do that arrrrrh), but i cut that down.paid 1,600 to fill 4 cracks with special (poly) epoxy that expands and fills all tiny cracks in the area.

As an example, when I lived in Europe, all the FX research being circulated was saying EUR/USD would go to parity - it's now at 1.24.

Risk parity, although more commonly applied to stocks and bonds, is a studied portfolio management theory that you may find interest in and find you are able to glean knowledge that transfers directly into real estate.Take care!
