My story
I made an offer on a townhouse in the middle of Nov., but it was grabbed by a flipper. The original price was 509–539k, but the owner had to lower it to 499k because they were transfered to DC. At the end of Dec, the same house was put on market again, asking for 539–569k(all he did was painted the house). I called and asked to look at it and the flipper who is a realtor, told me”you will get good price–$5000 down, because you will be buying from me directly.” Now you can understand why the housing price is so high and how greddy people are.(Met several agents and they were all telling me that they own several houses,it is good time to buy,interest rate is low, price will go up….
What do you think?
