Home Buying & Real Estate Thread

Yikes, that definitely makes living in the hills much less attractive. I keep hearing anecdotal things about people running into drainage and erosion issues living in the hills.
 
water will always win.

You could stop that but it would probably be more than the house is worth.

eventually insurance companies gonna be like state farm and not offer coverage
 
Idk what’s with rich people and living on cliffs.

Like they pride in having the most pain in the *** house to build and maintain.
 
I was struggling to keep my lawn looking green year round. Decided to just paint it using some grass paint. Turned out good. Reviews state that it should last a few months. We’ll see how long it holds up.

We bought our first home in 2018 with a 4.25 rate, $220k. Our realtor thinks we can get $400k for it now. We still love this house and don’t NEED to move, but we do want more space (currently around 1400sqft)

Looking to get into our “forever home” now, we would love to stay in our current area but likely going to have to move about 25 mins south to get what we want in a house.

Fell in love with a “coming soon” house that our realtor is listing. Anybody have any tips or experience with dual agency? Should we be seeing a decrease in comissions due to this? We would like to offer full asking for this house before it hits the market officially - I would think our realtor would support that, right?

Meeting with the realtor this weekend but just trying to gather what I can before then
 
The standard 6% real on buying/selling homes is no more.
This is a big change, whole model is about to be flipped and will be interesting to see what buying/selling commissions look like when the smoke has cleared (article predicts 25-50% decline). People could potentially shop agents/rates in the near future

Personally i feel like there are some tech companies lobbying behind this so they can just sell houses on websites
I know for example in texas theres a tech company that basically you shop on their website/app and request a viewing and go do the viewing yourself basically eliminating for an in person agent
 
I made an offer on an house the other day without a showing. **** was marked as pending a day later. Agent confirmed it. 2 days on Zillow. No open house.

Certain locations will never care about rates.
