Sadly it’s not just RI, we moved from FL last year, sold our house for almost double what we purchased for under two years prior. People will pay so that’s what’s happening, it’ll keep happening too. Our rent is $1,000 more than our mortgage was in FL and our old home was 1000% nicer too. It sucks a lot, I feel like we will never be able to purchase something and not be screwed in the end now.
