Rule #4, no bidding wars, period. RSF and surrounding areas is an embarrasment of riches for very very nice homes. We did like the house, but rules is rules. I just think it a big mistake to bid on a house with more than one bid in this market, particularly if there is a large inventory of the kind of houses we want. RSF is nothing but the kind of houses we want.
If that were up here in the Bay Area, maybe perhaps I would consider . . . . never mind, not here either. Not in this market, no way. We may be looking for a house to retire in, but if my wife falls for the pool boy and we get divorced I need to make sure my half of equity is enough to hire the People’s lawyer.
