Yah I can see putting in an offer but not waiting til closing at final walk through.I put in an offer before doing a walkthrough as well, didn't waive the inspection or appraisal though when I was the buyer.
Actually did this 6 or 7 times before my offer won.
Some housing markets you only have 24hrs or less.
Context is king I think... my wife didn't see it till move in day. I think I saw it during the inspection?
I should point that was not directed at you so much as what the market has become. If someone wants it that bad go for it. You've got to draw a line somewhere.
All of those things are opinions and guesses. Apples to oranges my man.
) for any variety of items; it's fact of life for the vast majority of us whether we're talking about inspectors and mechanics or doctors and pharmacists.
Different strokes I guess, glad it worked out for you.All of those things are opinions and guesses. Apples to oranges my man.
Even within your context, I sit behind a computer all day long, looking at tax returns, credit reports, financial statements, etc. If there isn't obvious damage I highly doubt I'd pick up any problems with a house. Foundation? Looks like concrete to me! Structure? Somewhere under the sheetrock, right? Electrical? Been shocked before, fool me once. . .
If it's not obvious to the naked eye, I ain't catching it. And frankly, that's probably true to nearly all homebuyers unless they work in the building/construction/inspection industry themselves.
I've spent my life having to trust "proffesionals" (
it's a give and a take. If you want a house you have to play in the housing market.
Like I said I can see putting in an offer of time is of the essence. But to not physically look until closing makes my head spin.
True, you guys are planning on moving again before you even bought it though.
Yeah exactly, I knew it was only our home for 2 years, and then selling it or renting.

Yah one just came up a couple miles from me literally five minutes ago. Great house but it's got neighbors close on both sides. One of my stipulations is I can be in the back yard and not see anybody (at least within shouting distance I grew up with no neighbors and I absolutely hate having them) and shoot whenever I want. Sounds dumb but I'm not moving again so might as well wait. Finding what you want that is I your budget is the tricky part. Tbh I'd rather find one for a little less that's outdated inside. I can do just about anything inside that needs to be done and anything I can't I've got buddies who will work out a trade for me that can.@nick87 if I was in your position, buying what might be a 20+ year house I’d stick to my guns and wait, or at the very least get something way under budget that I was sure I could quickly resale or rent then wait for what I wanted
Now your telling jokes?
Net or gross you suppose? Big differenceThe median American household would need to devote 34% of its income to cover monthly payments on a median-price home in January, according to the Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta. That is the highest since November 2008.

High prices, rising rates and declining application volumes are prompting lenders to expand their offerings to potential home buyers.
I believe it was gross.
Stopped to see a buddy I used to work with few days ago. Built a new house in 2019. 2000 sq ft 3 bed 3ba. 3 car garage real nice side. On a postage stamp lot. Taxes are $11,200. It's a track home, not even custom. there's a line around the block to buy one as they get finished.
