Short the housing market?

borrow houses from friends and sell them, then when you close your short after the houses crash you buy back the same amount of huoses to cover loan from friends

Buy puts for housing. I think you can work out some options deals with banks that provide housing loans. Seriously, this might your best bet cause you said it has to be only local housing.

Yeah I saw this in The Big Short (martin short?) and I want to do it too. I don't see why everyone doesn't just short the housing market and become ricj lmao

If you're interested in going against the real estate market you can buy real estate inverse shares of etfs like SRS. If you really think its going to crash and burn then, DRV.
Shorting specific area is usually correlated with entire market, but a lot more risky as unlike etf portfolios, housing in one area is not diversified.
Don't really recommend you doing any of this, better to wait for the crash, and buy at a bargain.

At this point it might not be the worst to bet against the whole market but I still see that as too much risk. The local specification is key because I can actually see from an "insider" perspective how unsustainable the market is
