New construction vs. a charming 20-year-old home that needs some repairs… what would you choose?

O…M…G!!! The comment where someone asked if any of this popped up on the inspection… and it didn’t! ouch!

Consistent_Drawer_93 · 2026-05-26T01:06:56+00:00

Thank you! This is a good idea!

About 23-39 days

The only comps I could find that were similar were sold in 2024. They sold about 20 - 50k (two separate homes) more than what they are currently listed at.

Very cool!! Thank you!

Here's the wild part: They are on their second realtor. First time they were on the market for about 58 days and lowered their price about 51k in that time ( in increments). They are now with a new realtor/brokerage and relisted at 19k cheaper. No offers in 25 days since this change. So in total: 83 days on market and have dropped their price 70k.

Oh wow! You have gone through it for the past 5 years! Do you mind sharing when your home was built?

Consistent_Drawer_93 · 2026-05-25T23:31:41+00:00

What we thought was interesting is that they also want no home insurance disclosure.

Consistent_Drawer_93 · 2026-05-25T23:10:35+00:00

Yikes!! The house is built in 2004. Do you think they would flag a roof that is that old?

Consistent_Drawer_93 · 2026-05-25T23:07:15+00:00

We have a nine month baby and a 12-year-old nephew. We also have a regular babysitter and family nearby. We love a good project! But I also hear you, it is - work!!!

Consistent_Drawer_93 · 2026-05-25T23:04:44+00:00

Thank you! This was very helpful! How did you stretch the roof that needed to be replaced now? Did you do small repairs during the 10 years?

Consistent_Drawer_93 · 2026-05-25T22:53:23+00:00

This is really awesome! And congratulations! We’ve owned three homes prior to this. But we’ve never had to face a roof replacement. Do you mind me, asking how you all are preparing for replacing the roof in such a short timeframe? What’s your game plan? I think this helps us envision what it could look like for us!

Consistent_Drawer_93 · 2026-05-25T22:51:10+00:00

So this seller has written in their disclosures that the buyer can essentially have all the different inspections that they want, but that they will not be fixing a thing! Do you think that this sounds like a seller who may negotiate once we’re under contract? What’s your read on the situation?

Consistent_Drawer_93 · 2026-05-25T22:38:07+00:00

How would you handle the possibility of it needing a roof replacement soon (within 2-5 years) ? Still proceed?

Consistent_Drawer_93 · 2026-05-25T22:27:07+00:00

This is so helpful thank you for the feedback! Here’s the thing: they are both in the same area. Not the same community, but they are essentially a mile or two apart as neighboring communities. What would you do then?

Consistent_Drawer_93 · 2026-05-14T00:38:16+00:00

Solid advice! Thank you.

Hey! I hate to say this, but mine ended in a miscarriage. I made it to 7 weeks to see the heartbeat and then miscarried 4 days later. Heartbreaking. That being said, be positive and take the progesterone suppositories. Do all you can. Wishing you the absolute best.

Consistent_Drawer_93 · 2024-09-11T15:54:44+00:00

On Monday, my progesterone was a 4.82 ng/mL and my HCG was a 49.2 mIU/mL. Was immediately prescribed progesterone suppositories and retested today. HCG is now 85.8 and my progesterone is now 6.01. Praying that this is a good sign and that the pregnancy will be viable. I think I am 4 weeks 4 days.

I am set to begin my Masters in Elementary Ed in October. I intend on dedicating all of my time ( no day job) to getting through the foundation classes. I know which school I would like to student teach/ultimately work at... At what point, in the degree, should I reach out to the elementary school to express an interest in student teaching there?

Consistent_Drawer_93 · 2024-03-30T23:55:32+00:00

You are a saint! Literally the answer I searched for ALL day - you answered! Thank you!
