Tales of an RSF Buyer (Part 3)

vagabondo. Both my NorCal and SoCal agents will tell you I am a high maintainence client, but not a rude one. When I bought my current house with my current NorCal agent, I toured 60 homes and wrote 17 offers. We beat that easily this time, with both agents. That same NorCal agent is selling my current house. No I am not an agent.

fromnj. I have been down the build from scratch, remodel a tear down, etc path before and written about it a few times on this board and lets just say we have hired architects and contractors in the past and the only thing we will consider is a “project” house that needs work and perhaps an addition or two, but not a tear down or build from scratch. Building costs in SD are about half of what they are here, but that is but one factor for us.

And I don’t want to spend my max, just enough to get the house that will meet our needs in the area that we want.

SD Realtor. Thanks. I have always appreciated your posts and those of others and have gotten a lot out of this board and learned from everybody. The effort I put into my own posts is simply a reflection of what I get out of it as I am trying to give back what I get, to the extent my posts are useful to folks.

Once my wife decides to speak to me again, it may be a while, we will start looking for rentals. Not looking for the big house to rent. She does not want a place where I might feel too comfortable and want to stay longer than a year.

When your wife is speaking to you again, it might be nice to discuss the possibility of renting in your target neighborhood. That way, she could make some friends and start settling in your chosen community. While you would still be technically moving twice, it seems to me that moving down the block would be MUCH easier than completely starting over in a new neighborhood. Just an idea.

And I agree with everyone else. Don’t dwell on the one that got away. It sold for $50k more than you bid, but who’s to say that it wouldn’t have gone much higher if you had joined in the bidding war. I have no doubt you will find “the one” and I am looking forward to reading all about it!

Somewhere out there on the internets I picture a realtor message board where there is thread started…

“Let me tell you about this crazy client from NoCal”….
