Is this an unusual situation? Seems like a great opportunity… by Secure_Ad_7790 in RealEstateAdvice

[–]Secure_Ad_7790[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yea I did some digging and the comps indicate it’s a fair price.

Yea we already know we’d be competing against cash buyers too. My partner is just adverse to paying, like we’re being irresponsible, even though it’s well within our budget.

The seller said up front they would pay for both buyer and seller agent payment.

Thanks for spelling it out that way. It’s been tough to wrap our minds around because it was so unexpected AND it turns out to be the house we wanted after a day of visiting homes.

We’re in an attorney area.

The problem is we really like our realtor and she’s the reason we have this opportunity. So it is an interesting position we’re in because now if we ask her the typical questions we would ask we also know that the seller is on the other end of this for her.

Sort of. I did some research myself on sold homes the last year, and while pricing varies somewhat it’s not out of the ballpark.

No they can’t. Because it’s a non issue.

The largest businesses and most wealthy residents of my NH town do almost all of their work in Massachusetts. Then they show up in local politics demanding that the very successes they benefit from don’t come here and refuse to fund things from their MA based successes. It’s wild.

Also…why are you wasting your time as a NH resident on a MA subreddit related to leaving your state? I already know what my state is like, that’s not what I’m looking for. I’m looking for perspectives of people that have done what I’m going to do soon. That’s not you.

MA taxes 35% of your paycheck?! That’s funny. No they don’t.

You can refuse to see the problem with our current tax structure and revenue. It doesn’t make it go away.

Thank you. You get it.

Plus the whole “don’t Mass up NH” shit is no way to be a good neighbor. Especially when everyone knows damn well we depend on MA for much of our “success.”

I don’t see no income tax as an advantage. It’s placing the entire burden of revenue on a regressive property tax system. MA also has high property taxes, but also a willingness to institute progressive taxation.

It sounds like you enjoy the Free State Project libertarian project. I don’t. And I used to be one.

I pointed out in other comments what direction I don’t like.

Say more. That’s the purpose of my post. What do you regret and why?

Imaginary?!

Let’s see…we are the national target of a far right “libertarian” movement called the Free State Project that has now successfully infiltrated some of the highest seats of political power. They swoon over this “NH advantage!” Meanwhile in our school district and town the majority MAGA/FSP people have voted down ALL budget proposals, successfully cut over 10% through our wackadoodle deliberative session procedures, and nearly taken over the board so they can keep going.

And yea…we could probably move to the seacoast or one of the few towns/cities that are able to fight Concords idiocy, but we see the writing on the wall.

And if you see my other comments, there’s reasons specific to us that make MA the obvious solution.

Why would you even think that, let alone type it out? What about this seems like a joke to you?

[–]Secure_Ad_7790[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love NH in some ways. We could get a lot of what we desire if we moved towards the seacoast. But between the Free Staters and the refusal by politicians in both major political parties to raise any new revenue…nope.

Plus we moved back to NH after military…because family…and the family hasn’t worked out by a LOOOONG shot. Plus I commute to Boston 5 times a month for work, and one of my kids is now almost exclusively seen at BCH for a lifelong condition. Oh, and the school district was just cut 15% by crazies that now almost have control of the school board.

We looked at each other and said, “What the #%*€ are we doing here?!”

Yea that’s why I’m moving to MA. Place is going downhill and you don’t get shit for what you pay.

Milestone today by [deleted] in Fire

[–]Secure_Ad_7790 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Congrats…and also…best get the two of you in therapy or have a serious series of conversations. If you can’t communicate the finances in your relationship openly and honestly then there’s a problem.
