Both homes were newer construction, in rural area and all white towns....if that tells you anything.
Its how it works here in Jersey
All the towns you would ever live in are 95% or higher white
The property values are insane
And since they got the millenials moving out of the cities, demand is now through the roof
I bought a house in a gated community 4 years ago as a 2nd home, paid 90 grand for the place, 4 bed 2 1/2 baths 2 car garage, needed work but nothing I couldn’t get done, well except the roof, I hired a pro for that. Realtor told me I could get 300K easy for it now and would sell in a few days.

A friend is a real estate agent. She said even the liberals want to only live in white areas. They use code words like “good schools”
My late MIL neighborhood was middle class white. Blacks started moving in about 6-7 years ago. Now it’s grafitt, litter everywhere. The good stores closed up. My wife’s cousin is a teacher in the area and the said the black students destroyed one of the highest ranking schools in the district.. Will not listen or obey authority. Confronational with teachers etc.
