METAVERSE REAL ESTATE CHEAPER THAN ACTUAL REAL ESTATE

A startling market shift has revealed that real estate in the metaverse is now more affordable than an actual apartment, prompting a wave of renters to consider simply moving into a computer.

“My virtual mansion costs less than my studio, and the virtual one has a dragon,” said one prospective buyer. “Sure, it doesn’t technically exist, but neither does my chance of ever affording a real house.”

Housing advocates called the trend “a searing indictment of the market and also kind of a fun place to hang out.”
