Well the real estate market story in my town of Bend, Oregon is a perfect example of why it is not how much total testosterone you have, but what is important is how much is free and available to get the job done.
During the real estate boom from 2001 to 2005, Bend was deluged with thousands of people from California who chose to move here to live in a beautiful rural location in a much bigger house for much less money. Home builders followed and houses went up everywhere making Bend the #1 appreciated real estate market in 2004. The ironic part of it all was, even with all the builders, if you wanted to build your own home it was almost impossible to find one. Waiting times were over a year and cost per square foot reached $300 sg/ft!
