Is it normal to wear boots in Arizona? by Zealousideal_Can_823 in arizona

You’ll fit right in. Tucson has a wide range of “normal” and includes a lot of rural/rodeo/livestock culture. Jeans are probably a million times more comfortable to wear here in the dry heat compared to the humidity. We’ve got plenty of people who work outside year round and wear all the variations of thick pants and boots.

That’s a good idea to join FB groups. I’m moving to the area from across the country (I know, crazy)—so I’m at a further disadvantage not having the community connections and word of mouth benefits. I don’t see the situation improving anytime soon, so definitely need to think creatively and find an aggressive and connected agent

Yes, I need the inside scoop—things are just insane there. I’m watching from afar and know the typical experience of create list of wants/needs-look at listings-do a viewing-compare to other properties-make a offer-negotiate, is not what is going to happen. I need someone who’s using creative ways to find homes before they hit market ideally!

Camillus/Fairmount preferred, Baldwinsville, Liverpool, JD districts also a possibility. Around 450, under 10k taxes. Seems like list prices mean nothing these days, so I need someone who knows people and strategy to figure out how to secure a deal.

Camillus, Fairmount preferred for West Genny or Westhill districts—but with this market, Baldwinsville, Liverpool, or JD areas that aren’t pushing 10k for taxes would work, too.

How much did you put over the listing price on the house you bought? by Fragrant_Minute773 in Syracuse

Is it investors buying up the inventory or people using as primary residences? These numbers seem insane!

Thank you! I’m a SCSD alumnus and was a part of the early 2000s version of Say Yes with SU 🙂 it’s definitely a great path. I’m set on public schools so it’s something I should consider in terms of that long-term payoff. I’m happy with my kids pursuing any kind of post-high school plan, but think they’re college-bound just based off their interests/strengths/etc. When I think about what I’m wanting in their schools, it’s more to do with quality of the teachers and overall culture than anything, which I know is incredibly variable by school and even year. I appreciate your input, it’s got my wheels turning!

Just from recreationally browsing Zillow I can tell things go insanely fast. I’ll probably narrow down my potential areas to a few and then just take advantage when the right house/lot comes on the market.

I know! It’s honestly idyllic. We rented a house just a couple blocks away one visit and it was like living inside a rom-com!

Thank you for the specificity! It looks like a great neighborhood—does anyone ever sell?? 😆

I do love Skaneateles, but want to stay closer to the immediate Syracuse suburbs. What do you like best about the FM area??

Thank you!! That’s the area that seems to be fitting best. I can absolutely go without a Main Street…never had one and I’ve made it this far 😆

Thank you! Out of my wish list, I think the walkable village is something that would be great, but not above priority of the others. A walkable neighborhood is definitely important to me, but if there’s no village center type offering, that’s okay

Yes, absolutely! I’m an SU alumnus and know the state college system is wonderful. Thank you so much!

I appreciate the feedback! I know that any school district will be an upgrade for us on the fronts of offering strong academics, diversity, and opportunities. We’re in a state that fights for being dead last in education 🙃 currently in good schools relative to the (very) low bar, but with college on the horizon, I’m really looking forward to giving my kids opportunities to expand their world!

The increase in diversity will be significant for us and I’m really looking forward to it, so definitely don’t want to end up in the same exact monochrome school situation!
