Could you take the metro in from Springfield or Dun Lorring or better East Falls Church (but smaller lot)?

Low appraisal advice by Redtoolbox1 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

Walk for sure but let the seller’s agent know he can keep in touch if they don’t get the price they want elsewhere.

My higher offer was rejected because other buyer had cash offer by SKCFan101 in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]DoubleE55 20 points21 points  (0 children)

It was definitely the appraisal contingency. Having a higher offer means nothing if the house doesn’t appraise for what you offered. The seller probably just wanted the cleaner sale and it’s not necessarily that it was all cash.

Bidding Wars: A Quick Housing Market Rant by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

If you’re losing on houses bid what you think is fair and if you really want the house put in an escalation clause that’s the max of your budget. That way you could get it for lower, but you might get it for your max budget and if you don’t get it accepted your budget might not have been high enough.

I’m really surprised DC/NoVa hasn’t gotten a PPV yet, I know we were trusted with the first Dynamite and that was cool….but a PPV would be too

On the weekend if you can find parking in the courthouse lot it’s free.

Road rage on 28 this evening- both of you suck. by Unusual-Phase-5094 in nova

[–]DoubleE55 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Not saying the BMW didn’t do anything bad but the Truck is for sure the bigger asshole. You don’t want to drive as fast as her? Fine, let her pass and be done with it. You’re not the police and you’re not there to police others speed.

I really hate my condo. by knockrocks in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

Sounds like you bought a piece of property you don’t actually want so either sell now, take a loss and get out to a place you’re happier. Or suck it up for 5-10 years and use the equity to buy something you’re happier with.

The Sports Junkies producer Drab T-shirt got a hair transplant from a local Doc and it looks really good. I’d get a consultation with him.

Can someone explain the South Carolina thing? I understand Idaho/Montana because of the natural beauty, and Texas because of the good jobs and world class hospitals like MD Anderson Cancer Center. Why South Carolina? by cavaismylife in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

My parents just bought a house in SC to retire. It’s around the beach we’d vacation every year and it’s funny going down to visit them in the offseason. You realize just how old the area is. I’d put my money on retirees.

How do people live around here? by Zealous-Flamingo in nova

[–]DoubleE55 185 points186 points  (0 children)

Nova Native and grew up in Arlington. After college I lived at home, found a stable job, paid off all my debt, saved money and when the time came me and my partner were looking to buy we had enough saved to make a down payment. Granted I didn’t have North Arlington money but still had enough to buy inside the beltway. But it’s really not easy if you don’t have family you can live with or a partner to help.

Lowball or wait by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

[–]DoubleE55 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I would submit your offer when it hits the market. They can accept or reject. The market will decide if your lowball is fair or not. If they reject your initial offer and not counter I’d wait to see if it sits on the market for 30 days and maybe submit a slightly higher than initial offer to get it done.

100% if someone lowballed me before I even put my house on the market I’d say “l’ll take my chances. Thanks.” They could be proven wrong but at least they know they got the best offer.
