That is a cool idea. Thanks.
lol like that’ll work. You’re delusional.
That’s some grassy-looking grass.
Look at the agents in this video. Pretty sure they are gonna be salivating to get you to buy a property with a 4% commission instead of a 2.5% commission. Especially if it is over priced.
Amazing they still care about stuff like this in lol Canada. Is that even illegal in the US? I would never have assumed it was. If you get a shitty realtor it’s on you—that’s capitalism.
Your 4% commission thing might work but not 25% over market. Maybe 5% over market would. Gotta maintain that plausible deniability—it’s basically what we have instead of laws.
I’d let them negotiate down to 10-15% over market.
Goddamn, those prices.
Oops!
Oops sorry you lost out on buying a house when the market was 20% lower than it is now, here’s a years worth of free credit checks worth approximately 25 cents in value
As of now I own a house. Warning - the last time I bought was is the summer of 2008
hey at least i’m not arguing we’re not in a recession!
I am in escrow on a home in Southern California and the appraisal just came back at $55k higher than sell price.
2 months ago, this house would have probably sold for 20% over list.
Lol sellers.
1st world problems:
I’ve come to rely on delivery a bit with the baby being such a massive time suck on everyone. New house isn’t on google maps yet, so I can’t deliver there from door dash or a lot of places yet. Not moved in yet fully, but really hope that gets fixed soon.
Well wish me luck. Today we are:
- Movers taking all of the big stuff to the new house
- Internet is getting moved to new house
- Backyard landscaping starts
If only one is a failure I’ll be happy
So everyone acknowledges we have a massive housing supply problem and prices are ridiculous yet builders aren’t building. This is super weird.

They’re intent on holding these price levels no matter where the interest rate goes I guess.
I could think of two reasons: 1) Cost of materials being so high that is not as profitable to build at the moment and 2) They’re predicting a drop in housing demand due to high prices and interest rates and developers don’t want to get stuck with too much inventory.
And also what boredsocial said.
Maybe also loss of immigrant labor? Or just increasing labor costs in general, together with increased cost and supply shortages of materials and higher interest rates.
