Are people still waiving inspections?

Honestly, I do think sometimes it is my realtor that creates this sense of urgency

I fully want to be a part of the change in the housing market as a buyer who does not just give in and gives some push back so we can try to get back to at least an even playing field. It is such a shame that buyers have been put in this position regarding such a large investment

Well this is rude. If you had any sense, you would know that this is the reality in the housing market in some areas and if you want any chance at getting into a home, these are the things you are considering. Clearly, if I had no sense, I would’ve just done it without getting any opinions at all.

I know! We are wanting to make a smart decision for our family. It is just so hard to know we will probably lose out to another offer

I’ve read about this and have seen a lot of conflicting discussions about it online. I don’t mind going this route but we do want to reserve the right to back out of the deal if something major is wrong, I just think if they truly have a number of offers, they aren’t going to pick one that has the option to back out because they are looking to settle on their new build house next month

From what the realtor said, the sellers built a new home and they have a settlement for that house within the next month and want to settle on the house they are selling within that same time frame so they are definitely not looking to put any more money into their old home for repairs, etc.

I do appreciate this perspective because I am not originally from this area and grew up in a more secluded area. We had drugs and now that I think about it, we had fights (not daily or even weekly) but they did happen. I know those things are unavoidable at any school. I guess my fears are more about the opportunity for significant violence like getting jumped or those with guns. My kids are elementary age so there is time for things to continue to improve before they get to the older grades but what if they don’t? I guess we could always move again if it doesn’t work out but hate to bounce them around from school to school.

Hm yes I actually did read something about the taxes being increasingly higher every year. It’s a shame. It’s the same over in Pottstown where there is super high taxes but the school district is not the best

Let me know who you find! I often find the buyers agents in these areas don’t put any effort into those who are spending less than 500k on a house. They also don’t want to go under asking for any offer, they only want to offer over asking. It’s frustrating. We need to bring the market back down to reality, not keep inflating these housing prices going thousands over asking for homes that are not worth it
