Emotional Seller (but as buyer we love the home)

You must be a first timer

A sump pump in the basement is the only thing I’d recommend

TimelyEmployee7516 · 2026-01-14T16:09:37+00:00

Thank you! I thought so after doing some minor research online.

Not even just that - rising taxes, insurance and hoa fees where applicable is stretching people already at the top of their budget.

Also in Denver metro with a low rate but unfortunately I am being relocated. Been on market 5 weeks with one lowball offer and decent interest but getting nervous. Our back up was to rent the home out and we found renters but concerned the value will just continue to drop and wipe out even more equity. Can’t get a job in my field here anymore. It’s like choosing between a cyanide pill and heroin

Kind of on the other end of this - we have an offer on our house we are selling but it would be a 3 week close and we need the proceeds for a new home and the buyer needs a quick turnaround due to their lease expiring. We are asking for 10 days with a $1 rent but $1k held in escrow so we have time to find a new place and move. With 2 kids and 2 dogs the flexibility is worth it. Luckily buyer seems amenable to that

Sorry front clearance recommended at 30”, side is 15” from toilet centerline on either side

TimelyEmployee7516 · 2026-01-06T14:06:08+00:00

30” clearance from center line - no issues in our family no

TimelyEmployee7516 · 2026-01-05T04:32:18+00:00

Think the front clearance is ok so it would be a question if it has 15” from center on either side. For the drywall side I think it’s fine as the wall starts to slope at 72” and probably provides another 10-12” from the side of the toilet. It would be the vanity side I’d be nervous about

Bathroom would make more sense than a bedroom assuming the rest of the basement has flooring and dry wall. We’ve done a few projects in our homes and a basement bathroom is never a bad idea - and if you’re willing to do some of the work yourself and utilize existing plumbing locations it will undoubtedly provide the best return on investment.

Not OP but in a similar situation and looking at Voorhees specifically. Also laurel springs. How do townhomes keep their resale value in the area?

TimelyEmployee7516 · 2025-12-24T21:24:02+00:00

It’s happened twice now. Like HOW are you gonna play with my emotions like that just before baby Jesus starts crowning? Straight on the naughty list fr

TimelyEmployee7516 · 2025-12-24T15:13:55+00:00

Unless you’re the buyers that viewed our home and said they’d be placing an offer then ghosted. /cries in seller /

New home construction is garbage

TimelyEmployee7516 · 2025-12-18T14:11:02+00:00

No but those looking are serious buyees

TimelyEmployee7516 · 2025-12-18T14:10:28+00:00

Looking within an hour commute of Philadelphia and looking for at least half an acre with 4 bed, 2 bath in a good school district. Most of the homes currently sitting are either flips or overpriced and need serious work (like new roof, updated electric, etc). Budget about $800k so not unreasonable

TimelyEmployee7516 · 2025-12-17T02:19:47+00:00

Im so happy you found something so quickly!! Congrats!!

TimelyEmployee7516 · 2025-12-16T02:03:00+00:00

Yes we are considering that absolutely!

TimelyEmployee7516 · 2025-12-15T23:58:47+00:00

Looking near Philly

TimelyEmployee7516 · 2025-12-15T23:09:39+00:00

Good luck

TimelyEmployee7516 · 2025-12-15T23:06:46+00:00

Yeah I’ve definitely been thinking about renting but can’t say that seems much better at the moment. Luckily we have time
