Not to worry, I have a 6-pack waiting for me in case we don’t get it. And if we do get it, uh, I still have a 6-pack at home.

Good luck! Drink one for me! Crossing my fingers the appraisal on our house comes in at the correct price.

When you get a house, you’re hosting the next PNW Oppo meet in your front yard as a housewarming party right?

Your neighbours will love us.

As someone who just went through this less than a month ago, I can relate. Good luck! And yeah even when your offer is accepted it is still a headache - but an exciting one at least.

The latest tomfuckery is to price the property low, give the buyers a week to bid, then they accept the offer they like. There’s a 1500 sq foot 3 bedroom home on my street that they just sold this way, list was $499k and it sold for $558k

That’s my plan if I go to sell in this market. PNW real estate, you gotta play the games.

I really hope you get it, so I can stop reading these posts :P

(Yes, I know I can choose to just not read it, like I do so many others, but shut-up SpaceCrab!)

As someone who just bought a 1600 square foot, 3 bedroom house in a very good neighborhood within (long) walking distance of my office for $178k, I don’t envy folks in hot real estate markets. I wouldn’t mind the high wages your economies provide, though.

Welp, still under review. Found out we have the highest offer, but the other guy is a cash buyer... So I’m thinking I’m licked. Cash offers are typically king, even if the other offer is financially safe and strong. Path of least resistance, no appraisal, and fast close.

Seattle area costs a bunch, the upside is the PNW’s beautiful scenery and mild weather. Where do you live that houses are so cheap?

Did you waive inspection? That is a good (if risky) way to reduce the “risk” to the seller and make your offer seem better.

those are about the prices we are looking at about 50 miles south of chicago, its a fantastic area but they get you with the property taxes

Fortunately, we’ve got low property taxes here. The trade off is low wages and a small city. Las Cruces is about 100k in population. El Paso is just down the road though, and Albuquerque is two and half hours north. If I want a real big city, I’ve got to drive to Denver, Phoenix or San Antonio/Austin for that experience.
