True story: placed an offer on a home last summer that was listed for 2.25X higher price from just 5 years ago with zero improvements made. Still we loved the home, and have a young family. Seemed worth pursuing
The market was stale - the relative cost of financing this home was 3.65X vs 2020 - and the home had the highest $/sq foot ask in over a year. Unsurprisingly it sat unsold for 30 days, at which point we bid a mere 10% under ask. Their counter? 0.6% reduction. Basically their version of "we don't negotiate with terrorists."
Told them LMAO SMD. The home sat unsold for another 90 days with zero meaningful reductions before owner pulled the listing
10 mounts later I discover it was sold off market to an LLC based in FL (a Boomer or investor no doubt) and boxed my family out of a good home. The search continues
Moral of the story: you don't hate this crop of home owners enough
could you imagine being a reporter covering a very highly specific beat, and at the biggest event of the year on said beat, there was an attempted mass shooting, and you post about how you left the scene to go to a bar?
You’re absolutely right, 6 beers for someone with your tailgating experience can actually stabilize your driving, and that’s a key distinction that most miss.
