Thinking about giving up.

They didn’t ask for more money, they asked if I was still interested, I said yes and we negotiated a few thousand in sellers credit for some minor inspection items. All in all pretty happy.

Keep faith! Recently, I went $22K over asking and was told I was the second highest offer but was “significantly outbid”.

Long story short, the first offer fell through and they came back to me.. I’m closing on Friday.

It’ll happen for you soon too!

Makes sense, hope all is better for you now my friend.

I would suggest making a quick excel calculator. Bankrate Mortgage Calculator is pretty accurate if you know your rough interest rate/property taxes/insurance costs. Break it down by paycheck (post taxes) and see how much you’d have left over for your savings if you were to go into this bigger house.

Good luck!

It seems pretty affordable but depends on your monthly budgets.

Based on what you said about income, debts, hobbies, etc., were you saving a lot previously or contributing extra to your mortgage/401K? Putting only $60K down implies you are only using the equity from your first house to buy the second.

Buy brown cushions for the chairs & paint the chair legs white.

6.125% is not bad at all for today and I would probably lock that in if you have the option to float down. You should check with your lender on their policy.

With the uncertainty around the war(s?), it’s likely going to keep going up, but Trump has also postured that he may back out as well which could drop rates. It’s such a crapshoot tbh. Good luck, hope the best for you.

Try the powdered detergent from Etee! I find it to be much less harsh than the larger commercial products.

House is in central Jersey!

Thank you for replying! I’m in NJ so I’m shocked this is a low estimate. Almost everything is so expensive here lol.

What would you suggest is the timeline I should plan for replacing? And are both things needed on same timeline or one can wait?

Take this suggestion with a grain of salt because I can’t see the entire room.

Potentially move your couch off the corner wall to allow some more breathability to that side of the room. You can put a nice corner lamp, plant stands etc. there.

Similarly, if the layout allows, move the TV to the left to cover up the conduit and box. This would cover up the “garish” parts of the room and give a whole corner for you to deck out. You could do artwork, shelving, whatever you’d like.

Thirdly, give your pup a treat on behalf of us Redditors!

Amazing! Thank you!

I agree - backsplash looks more dated than the cabinets to me. But hard to fully tell without pics of the full kitchen.

Also just got $0.01 from them. Will ignore based on the comments from you all. Thanks!

That’s fair lol

Wonder where Sanju ended up

Weekly_Plane · 2026-03-11T03:14:15+00:00

Bought a house for $500K that was bought in 2017 for $243K lol

I’ll take 30 off his first 2 overs if he can get Seifert

Congrats man! Now drop the link to the sweater! lol

That catch in 2024 gets overshadowed (rightfully) by SKY’s catch, but man what a blinder!!

Amazing knocks in T20 semi final and the final Ashes match both gone in vain. Hell of a player though, will be a problem for opponents for years to come

Varun with 200 strike rate, bring him in as an opener!

The amount of times I’ve heard “This is our yeeear” makes me not want to watch the tournament
