That means we’ve had an inventory problem that has steadily got worse over the last four years, in my opinion. Crazy, right? But this is a really good–I’m so glad that you brought this up, Paul. So you overpaid four years ago? Yup. How are you doing today. Fine, I had 10% appreciation year over year. Right. And that’s such a good point. I’m so glad that you brought that up because I had so many people, especially a lot of first time homebuyers that are like, “Am I overpaying for this home?” and short answer is: Yeah, kinda right now, but in six months, no.
