Ya think it's easy?

“What I want for dinner is what you’re having.”

We just went through an yet another election demonstrating that polling is useless – most especially where the person being polled has reasons to deceive the pollster.

Redfin didn’t poll, it just inferred, but if demand for second homes is booming, that could mean three things, not just one: 1. The buyers actually want and plan to use a second home, Redfin’s presumption. 2. The buyers are hedging their bets, planning to sell one of the homes when they know better what the future holds for them. 3. They’re doing a buy-and-bail – letting the old home go into foreclosure after they have moved into the new one.

The good news, apparently: Absolutely none of these radical real estate changes will have been caused by the rioting that is not happening anyway!
