Just divorced. Got to sell in LCV and buy somewhere. Any ideas?

[sdrealtor]

OX,
I did not mean to imply that a bottom for SEH is near or about 6 months away. That is really impossible to say and is probably still a couple years out. I do believe that by late October most of the damage will have already be done. My belief is that at least 75% of the decline in SEH will have passed if not more. At that point you will have a couple questions to address:

Are renting/temporary living arrangements unacceptable to me?

Do I value the lifestyle benefits enough to assume the additional downside risk?

Those are questions only you can answer and they are questions you will want to answer with good information and patience.

Ox, you were doing so well, then you went with, “move in with my girlfriend now that my divorce is final” angle. I have so much advice for you and none of it has to do with real estate. C’mon, you made parole, enjoy it a little.

Here’s the plan:
-Rent something small in SEH or wherever you may want to buy.

-Pick a townhouse or something small, it will be cheaper and there will way more divorced women floating around (community pools and gyms are good).

-Spend a year or two watching the market and learning if you like the area, date as many of the divorcees and once you’ve burned yourself in the complex, go buy a house. Then never date any of your neighbors once you buy because they won’t go away and neither will you.

Then you will be a couple years out of the marriage and your vision is more clear about a potential mate and a potential house.

Out of curiosity, did you get the traditional vasectomy or did you go the Vasclip route? Just curious. I did the Vasclip a couple of years back with no regrets. It cost about $500 more.

I would agree with both sdr and tg. For sure with sdr on selling your home now. I think LCV will see slow but very sticky declines over the next 2 years and maybe more. Also as tg said, find a cool place near the beach and rent it for a year. I think it will serve you well for a few different reasons.

Also I think SEH will see more drops over the next 2 years as well. Perhaps on a percentage basis, not as much as some higher end areas but the overhead of SEH is such that it will contribute a bit more to the decline.

Holding off awhile may end up putting you further west if you have the patience. It is a tough call lifestyle wise though.

I hate renting.
