The house that we were going to put an advance offer in for is already pending over asking price! House we went down the rabbit hole for is sold. Our realtor said it was a cash sale that had a 7 day quick close with an investor. Super curious to see the house after it has been flipped.

We're in for a long ride because the market is so hot. We probably won't end up in the neighborhood we want.

The market is hot, of that there is no doubt.  But please at least consider the interest rate when thinking about holding off on purchasing.

If you plan on being in the house for a very long time, or keeping it forever as wealth building tool, purchase price isn't the only factor you need to be looking at.

I would personally overspend on a house a little and get a really good rate, vs. wait buy under priced, but with a bad rate...especially with the new tax laws in place.  I'm not talking about 10's of thousands here, but less than 10k and I'm factoring it all in.

That said, I'm in a different part of my life than you are.

Wife and I are closing on a house today. House popped up a street over from the one I started this thread about. 20k higher than the other one, but a bit more updated (new HVAC, water heater, windows, and appliances). Still going to require some work, but probably nothing structural. Main thing the inspector noted was the brick chimney is leaking and needs immediate attention but we got some cash at closing from the owner to fix that. Other than that it's just kind of an older house that needs cosmetic updates. Looking forward to moving in at the end of the month!

Good luck and congratulations! May it be a happy home for years to come!

Congrats on the new home!

I've been off these boards for the past year as i've been super stressed with building our house. We close next week after a whole year. 

Oh lord, building a home seems daunting. We briefly discussed that option in a new neighborhood about 5 miles east of the neighborhood we bought in. Price would have been about the same but it would have been 9 months or more of waiting to finally move. Plus the houses have no character or charm in those cookie cutter neighborhoods so resale would have been harder. Congrats on finally closing!

      Bears fire Matt Eberfus

      His o loaded with swift, dj, Keenan and Rome was inconsistent at best. The d was bad. And the game management was atrocious and lost them games.  He was terrible and made the team worse. I wish they kept him

      That is my point.  I think teams make a huge mistake when they pay their decent to average QBs top QB money because they feel that they have to match the market or lose their investment--There is no way, for example, that Tua or Prescott or Murray should all be making more than Mahomes--I mean, Dak makes $15m per season more than Mahomes. People say, "Well, when its his turn...." But that is not how it should be--so my point was that Bryce can be doing mediocre to good enough in 2 years, but the way it is going, you have to pay him at the starting QB rate--currently $60m.  So even if you think he will continue to improve, at $60 m, he would eliminate any chance for a ring---so my view is, if he is not elite, you cut him.  So you draft QBs now and see what you can make of them.

      With two 4ths and three 5ths I’m hoping we can kill it on adding depth. Take a gamble with the two 7ths.  First 3 picks id love to address the defense. I expect Tuttle, Robinson, and Jewell to all be on the 2025 roster but not after that. Be a good time to add depth and let them develop a year.
