Stress!

[Golddollar]

So true Rusty...our home in the Pittsburgh area sold for well over the appraised value, in fact, enough to cover almost the full renovation. And we are putting money in the bank after all is said and done....we have been blessed, and when mrs is done with the interior of this place we will be happy there....

Thank you.

Robert

I hope your forever home brings you and mrs all of the pleasure and joy mine has brought to me. I had mine semi-custom built, and I helped to design it. My late mother was an inspiration to me to put in senior citizen/handicap amenities, as she suffered from rheumatoid arthritis and later Lou Gehrig's disease. I've been here for over 15 years now, and I tell everybody that I'm only leaving this house 2 ways, in a straight jacket or feet first.

You forgot about: The rumor of Ammo in stock & on sale!

Robert I feel your pain! As you know, we moved as well. The stress of finding and purchasing a house after ours sold was horrendous! Our new kitchen cabinets will "probably" be in in October. The countertops "not more than" 30 days later!�� At least we've moved to a slightly bigger home than we had!

All I can say is buying a property sight un-seen would be really tough for me. I applaud all of you who have the wherewithal to do it, but not my cup of tea. I get it though on the competition side, I guess he who hesitates is lost in this market.

I am glad things are working out for you and the wife has a friend. That always goes a long way when moving to a new area.

I feel the pain. Every year the Denver housing market gets crazier and crazier, and wages go up ever so slowly even with promotions. I make good money by the standards of most of the country, but there's no way I can afford to buy in/around Denver or other cities in CO on a single income as even crummy townhomes are pushing $400k.

Anywhere else with a decent job market and outdoor recreation (and many without) are going nuts too. The current GF bought her townhouse with a downpayment gift from her parents for $130k in 2013. She's getting unsolicited offers of $390k plus today, and it's a decent building in a crummy neighborhood. I entirely understand housing as a mean to build wealth, but the insanity of every property being treated as an investment first really sucks for someone looking for a place to live that they can have some control over.

Oh well. Least I love camping and have a car I can sleep in if housing keeps going nuts.

By the time November rolls around, I'm sure Gov. Wolf will have instituted a "visitor's tax" or something along those lines, so you can continue to pay for PA after you move!

Here in Florida and from what I hear other places houses are selling way over asking prices. Ocala is growing way to fast and in a short time will have all the problems the developers have created in South Florida. Not sure what part of NE Florida you are in but I would think it is a nice area that so far has been spared the ruin in South East and West Florida.

We bought one sight unseen 10 years ago. But we knew we were going to have to remodel a good bit going in. I knew it wasn't going to get done in time even though the contractor said no problem. We had the movers pick all our stuff up and store it and moved into one of those long-term-stay hotels for a couple of months.

I think you made the right decision keeping it the way the market is right now.
