This was across the street from where I was working today. $6600 a year for property taxes. Man we get boned https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1416-Barbee-Rd-Shelby-NC-28150/316610473_zpid/?utm_campaign=iosappmessage&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=txtshare

Finally closed on my old house. All said and done what a nightmare! Even with the offer being as-is with no inspection, I was forced to have a hand rail installed, the house appraised low and the closing got pushed. Buyers didn't want to work with me on any aspect of the deal, if it wasn't this...

When we closed, it seemed like they had a pretty large reserve. Really the only rule I dont care for at the moment is no long term storage of rec vehicles (IE my car trailer) but to be honest I wouldnt want it sitting there anyway. They do allow for 24 hour parking for stuff like that so that...

You are correct, but it seems like every single house we looked at going west had some sort of association. From talking to the neighbors, it sounds like they aren't strict, but time will tell. Coming from my old house where my two side neighbors had crap scattered/stored in their back and front...

There is about 8-10' of concrete from the garage door out, which is perfect for my truck tires to sit on. Then the rest of the driveway is asphalt (seems like something in the neighborhood as literally zero houses have full concrete) and then the apron (technically city owned) is concrete. We...

Can finally share un update on my house hunting search and selling my home. After 2 unsuccessful offers going $30k+ over asking, as-is, non-contingent and whatever closing timeframe with a conventional mortgage, we finally got one, somehow, at asking price. Its on a quiet cul-de-sac with a lake...

Ill be sealcoating and putting a fresh layer of mulch on the current mulch that is only 6 weeks old for the freshness. Every year when I do the driveway and mulch I swear its like night and day

That is wild! I know the market is getting softer, I really hope ours sells quickly and no major issues found. This will be a first time on the selling side and I'm scared

@IZZy did your house sell? How did the 0 buyer agent approach work out? Will be listing my house in 2 weeks

Comming from Addison, I would consider it a major upgrade :LOL:

Slightly less square footage but more land, nicer, newer, and I can only assume a fraction of what Illinois taxes would be. My ideal would be ~2500 sq ft 2 story house, bedrooms on the second floor 3 car garage on 1+ acres but based on the last few months that is extremely hard to come by...

Double edge knife to that question. Renting would cost the same or more than my projected mortgage and then down the road that would count against my debt to income ratio and probably price me our from buying. I have a lot of equity in my current home that I plan to re-cast my future new...

This is pretty wild too. For research, generically searching 400-600k houses with no new construction, you get roughly 100 homes for sale in a 316 square mile area. Talking to my realtor, he was saying back 5 years ago it was almost 5x that number. If I take the new construction filer off, it...

It really sucks. To be honest I would love to spend less, but it seems for the square footage we want and good school districts they are all a blood bath. I can only hope that when I list my current house it becomes a bidding war like everything we have tried to buy

I would 100% be considering the same if it wasn't for schools and lot size with my current house. Seems like there is zero winning right now and prices will keep rising, especially if rates come down.

You guys hiring? I sure as shit cannot afford that :tear:

First house we made an offer on, which didn't allow for escalation riders closed last night. We offered 31k over and someone got it for $500 more. I call bullshit.

Both houses we have made offers on were over 500 and nothing extravagant. Nothing is affordable anymore

We made an offer for the second time on another house. Escalation rider up to 35k over asking, as-is, guaranteed funds if the house didn’t appraise for the offer, only to not get it. Was told there was 8 offers total in the 48 hours the house was on the market and an all cash one won. Wild

We have been looking for a couple months now. Since our offer on a house that got rejected 5 weeks ago we haven't even walked through another house. Our dream of having a big lot is slowly dying and the stupid cookie cutter style is becoming more appealing strictly on availability. I don't think...
