Since the election I've kinda buried my head in the sand to try and stay sane, so I'm not sure what projections are looking like for the real estate market. Unfortunately I need to move pretty ASAP and I'm having the worst luck with rentals.

So, anyone have any advice or an idea of the outlook in the next few months?

No clue but my brother and sister-in-law are hoping for a housing market crash so they can get one. I hope it crashes so not only can they get one, but hopefully my parents (and by extension my other brother and I) would have a house to live in instead of an apartment. Though I feel as though my they would have an easier time getting one than my parents since, even though it's only a smaller business, he has a good job (not doxxing what he does, though).

There is no guarantee the market will crash. It's really fucking hard to predict the future.

Even if it's unpredictable, I can still hope.
