If you were dreaming of buying my mother’s house in Auburn, WA, you may have missed your chance: we had two offers this week at roughly the asking price, and we’re accepting one. There are the usual details that have to be taken care of, so there’s a chance the whole deal could fall through, but otherwise you’re out of luck.
I’m sort of surprised that a home would fly off the shelves so quickly, but that’s the housing market in the Pacific Northwest, I guess.
It’s not official until the closing. Lots of steps before then; the inspection, any remedial repairs, etc.
I’ve been looking at houses and had considered, due to family, the greater Seattle area. But stuff there is high and it flies off the shelf. I’m not surprised you’ve got an offer already.
You didn’t ask enough. Had the same experience with my Mom’s condo in Florida. Not enoiiugh of a capitalist I guess.
Oh Reginald… People in Seattle don’t do home inspections. You buy with none of those contingencies, or else you never end up owning a home.
Housing market here in NJ is insane, in my neighborhood houses are under contract in 2 weeks or less. For asking price.
Please sell it to someone that is going to live there, instead of a rent-seeking parasite, or ever worse, a corporation.
The only thing surprising is that you ONLY got the asking price instead of 10-20% over. Housing market must have cooled down from when I last looked.
