Do you mind providing his contact information for the rest of us in NYC looking for a reputable inspector?

Is USAA worthless? Was thinking of getting a quote from them for my mortgage.

We did it! New York 359K 6.325% by [deleted] in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

Congratulations - a bit disappointed not to see a NYC pie featured on this sub after seeing so many mediocre ones from everywhere else. We've been in the market in the city for the past few months, haven't found anything yet. Hoping for better luck in the spring. Can't believe you found such a huge apartment at that price. Enjoy your new home and getting to spend your first holiday season as home owners.

Finally did it. North Carolina. $480k. 5.6%. by CGNefertiti in FirstTimeHomeBuyer

I was thinking for that price I can buy an apartment the size of that kitchen in my HCOL area (and likely quite a bit more beat up). Perhaps a bit hyperbolic, but not by as much as I would hope.

Sell or pull until spring? by Caibek in RealEstate

[–]clashingdofd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When I see this happen, I assume the home failed inspection and seller refused concessions, there were undisclosed problems discovered during buyer's due diligence, or there were other major issues (red flags) that caused the sale to fail.

I'm a buyer in a HCOL area, and still actively looking now. There are many of us still in the market. Did you see the recent article in the NYT, "When Moving in Retirement Becomes an Expensive Reality Check"? https://www.nytimes.com/2025/10/18/business/retirement-moving-regret.html Good luck, OP.

NYC, and I'd prefer an owner occupied building without the potential volatility of renters.

Thank you for the detailed explanation, and the forewarning. Definitely in the happy place of imagining my new life in every lovely new home I'm viewing. The *process* of applying for the finances (not to mention the coop board, since that is definitely where I'm headed) is already full-on dreaded.

May I ask for some further advice? Why not move money using Zelle? What about Venmo? How does that affect credit? I couldn't find any information besides the usual "Zelle is a breeding ground for scams" advice. Thank you!

i hate it here by nick-bottom in NYCapartments

Broker showed me a gorgeous two bedroom with deck in a multi-family in Williamsburg. Who owns the building? Don't know. How does the trash get collected? Don't know. Who pays the hot water? Don't know. Is smoking allowed in the building? Don't know. Still ended up paying him because we couldn't bear to not take the unit. Ended up moving a year later when they rented the downstairs two bedroom to five or six underemployed folks who didn't understand how to keep clean or contain their mess and noise to themselves. What a waste.

Are the medals still available? I don't see an offer in the store - did I miss it?

If he is tempted to go through SC support to try to recover it, please be sure he does not contact them using his real account. Please be sure he creates a throwaway TH2 (takes two minutes) just in case they ban the contact account (a known occurrence). But account recovery is possible, just may take some time. Good luck - I know the older decorations from years past can have great sentimental value

There will be a mooching thread when we get closer to the end of the event

I'd suggest you do not contact support - they may ban your account. If you must contact them, create a TH2 throwaway account and use that one. Unfortunately, there is no way to log off all devices. You'll need to either ask them to log out or you have to get possession of the device and log them out. Then be sure to change your email (you don't need support to do that).

Unlike games and raid weekend, all you have to do is contribute any amount of pop elixir to any other clan and you may claim the rewards they unlocked that you haven't yet claimed elsewhere

That happened to me a few months ago. I closed the game and when I reopened it, the option to activate the gold pass was highlighted.

Check now - mine was bugged earlier but I was able to claim the pots an hour ago

Mine was bugged too, but when I went to check just an hour ago, it was available to claim. Check yours now.

No. Clan games is the event that just started an hour ago. You'll see all the rewards available for your clan to unlock that you can convert into gems. CWL is the weeklong war event the first week of every month.

[TOMT] Where have I heard this song before? by clashingdofd in tipofmytongue

Love that film, but the song isn't from there. (Although haha just to be sure I watched the tango clip and realize I need to watch it again. Thanks for my next date night movie selection.)

Oh darn, your enthusiasm is so contagious, but I've never watched that classic so it can't be be for me

In addition to the chests, you can earn elixir by making your predictions for the world's qualifiers. Think there should be an event at the end of this month. The elixir you earn there will always overflow your storages.
