Ehhh it’s been on and off these past 2 years / the reason I’m kind of adamant about now is because there is less competition

😂😂 ITS HORRIBLE

We don’t know where we will go I work remote but wife does not and family is down here as well sooooo the travel will cause us most likely to not go to those areas. But we do have everything else and depending on the house most likely we’ll probably do less than 20% holding money for repairs that could cost us at least 30K

I can agree based on where I am / other areas where this is happening a lot in I feel terrible for

Yeah I think at this point we will do just that!

Lol as soon as you comment I switched to tiktok and this is the first thing I get on my home page

corporations buying houses

Aha I guess this is what we will have to do just be more patient about it. Who knows maybe we will. Hoping that spring and summer brings more to us!

Aha it’s so annoying because literally if there is an actual good house it will be gone within the week. Others well will be sitting

This gives me some hope of course maybe I should just be patient about it. Last year I originally didn’t expect things to be better till 3rd quarter this year haha but it’s just annoying just waiting when you don’t know what will come

I’ll actually keep that in mind that is good to know that, that could be a possibility

This is to be fair the only time I’ve heard of a good reason to not buy.

But for the most part if I don’t buy now, when I buy when everyone says it’s a good time to buy I’ll have to bid against 4 different people again. At least in this market people are taking at offer price or less or simply dropping their asking price.

But because of how terrible inventory is and the pricing I might wait at this point. If prices fall great but houses tend to appreciate if only by a little lol I’d feel more confident if a bunch of good neighborhoods sold their house 2/3rds less than comps in the area I’d love that so that it can just reset prices all around.

Aha right now it’s my spouse and her mom that are for the most part set on Waterford. it’s tough but if we can find a decent house in a good location sell it in like 5-10 years we can use the equity we built and or money we’d make selling to get a house in new london county or wherever else. That’s my thought process right now

Location really isn’t a bother for me I’d possibly move out of CT given the chance. My wife though would rather stay somewhere in new london county 90% set on Waterford, 10% on Groton or Montville / 😅 so kinda stuck here lol but getting a house under 300k in Waterford without problems seems like a lottery ticket winning

Although it’s all you can share, It’s appreciated!

I fell asleep after posting this but happy I got a lot of comments. Thank you everyone for your comments, although I dislike how expensive things are this at least gives me a frame of mind of at least what I possibly can or can’t do because of it. Again I appreciate it!
