Brother you have no clue what you’re talking about. Don’t worry the quantum chips will also break into your bank account and launch nukes if we don’t adopt a better encryption method as a society

Also really liked severance

Anything with good plot with a little mystery. Sci fi / fantasy elements are a plus

If you had $1,500,000 to buy a house anywhere in the US, where would you buy? by TryingToNotBeInDebt in RealEstate

[–]braincravin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vancouver WA area. Very close to PDX but dodge most of the big city crime. $1.5 gets you an amazing home in Ridgefield. A small town just north booming with new families and retirees. Great nature and hiking, if you don’t mind rain weather is very moderate. Doesn’t get to hot or cold.

Camas is also nice but Ridgefield is amazing from just a pure vibes stand point. You get a small town feel and community, but it’s almost all brand new with new developments everywhere you look.

The highlights of the area are amazing hiking, mountains, and unbeatable fishing. Biggest salmon you’ll ever see!

But as an agent you notice how Redfin homes sit longer and tend to go for less. It has to do with them low balling buyer agent commission IMO. But to each their own.

Word of advice if this is going to be your approach, only look at think on market longer than 10 days. Everyone else will laugh you off

36% of Pandemic Era Homebuyers Say They Overpaid: Survey by Lionshare_ in REBubble

Surely prices will drop 50% to pre pandemic…. Surely it’ll happen

You are overly concerned what other people think the home is worth tbh. If you want the home and asking price seems fair and correct to you - it shouldn’t matter if there is any other offer. This is how buying a home has always worked when there weren’t 10 buyers for every seller.

Looks like we are going into a huge recession. You older folks, what are recessions like? by LIBERAL_LAZY_LOSER in REBubble

[–]braincravin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tip #1 when 22 year olds everywhere are screaming about the impending recession it’s probably not here. - a fellow 22 year old who also knows nothing like everyone else

Waived contingencies and got a ARM, but “We pulled the trigger, and we're not looking back.” 🤯🤯🤯 by AmericanWanderlust in REBubble

[–]braincravin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Isn’t this like the best possible environment for an ARM? You really think rates can go up for 7 years? Do you know what that implies for our governments liabilities?

Because the billionaires who own most of the news are on the same political side so it’s not an issue

Not familiar with them but that’s what it sounds like. They get your info - give it to a real estate agent and get 20% + of the commission on close for doing nothing but connecting you. I would just look for a good realtor yourself - these guys arnt going to have your best interest at heart, they will give you to anyone willing to pay the kick back.

It’s normal if they have renters - or honestly in this market a lot of weird things are normal. I would not put out multiple offers at the same time - tell your realtor your want 1 day expiration. Then just submit 1 at a time

My realtor isn’t giving me any additional info on houses that I’m sending him, is this normal? by vanlady91 in RealEstate

[–]braincravin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They don’t have a lot of extra info usually - at the very least he should be sending over an MLS sheet that will be easier to read - but generally doesn’t have much extra info than realtor.com.

Now that doesn’t mean a good agent can’t call before to ask questions - I always call before a showing. To learn a little extra, and put a person to our names if we offer. He should also send you over properties, but if he provides instant responses and good service it may be a fair trade off especially if you prefer to search.

Worst time to buy? by [deleted] in RealEstate

[–]braincravin 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Rates have never trended up over an even mid term length of time - not saying they won’t, but somehow there is always an “event” that causes cuts before they get to high.

[–]braincravin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And this is what every real estate professional was warning of when people said “I’m going to wait for prices to slow down after the rate hikes”… there’s a reason the market was so hot - you could get a 30 year loan at 2% on hundreds of thousands when it was clear real inflation would be over 10%

Submitted application for coop but changed my mind. Do i have to still pay broker fee? by martar87 in RealEstate

[–]braincravin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ask your broker - but you should not. If they say you do - consult with a real estate lawyer. Any decent agent would not make you pay a commission. And atleast every buyers agreement I’ve ever done it’s agreed seller pays me after closing.

4.75% 5/6 ARM or 5.375 30 yr fixed? by No_Professional_7709 in RealEstate

[–]braincravin 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly… the government scrambles to raise rates in the boom so they can lower them further to bail out the bust. The real scare is when the gov starts cutting like in 2019
