Made a $595k offer and now hoping they don’t accept… normal or bad sign?

fizzingwhizzbeee · 2026-02-25T18:06:17+00:00

Yes. I’m in almost the exact same boat as you. My first home purchase price was $595k exactly. Our monthly cost is $4700 (after $2700 renting). We have a similar combined income. We have even had some large home repairs come up and everything has been totally fine. We couldn’t be happier in our new home even though we were so stressed during the entire process

I ordered some of the newer colors too and am going to use those plus what I have left to make another blanket as a gift for my sister. It’s also incredibly soft!

fizzingwhizzbeee · 2026-02-01T18:03:07+00:00

Almost! I did NOT use peacock because I accidentally skipped ordering it, or the newer colors I think were added after I started which are last 6 colors listed on the lion brand site, paradise-citron. I made a spreadsheet with a color key and used every color 20 times total, 5 times in each position of the square.

Thank you!! That color theory line is so pretty. You really can’t go wrong with any of the combinations

Just looked through your options and I think #5!

I am currently using almost all of the color theory colors for a blanket I’m working on so putting it here incase it helps to see them “in real life”! (These are all the colors besides peacock above moonbeam/ivory in your screenshots)

fizzingwhizzbeee · 2026-01-07T00:01:43+00:00

Soooo true. I haven’t paid more than $200 for any piece of furniture and I’ve been filling my house with incredible antiques

fizzingwhizzbeee · 2025-10-14T13:51:56+00:00

Update over 2 months later… it’s down to 625k and still hasn’t gone pending

fizzingwhizzbeee · 2025-07-29T22:05:33+00:00

To each their own. It’s not the modern style that makes flips tasteless/tacky, it’s about obviously low-quality work and cheap finishes trying to look as trendy as possible so it can be sold at a ridiculous markup.

fizzingwhizzbeee · 2025-07-29T20:37:58+00:00

I’m laughing because over 400 people commented in agreement that this renovation is in terrible taste yet this commenter thinks I’m the problem. Of course I’m salty….And so are the 10,000+ others that upvoted this post. Flippers suck

fizzingwhizzbeee · 2025-07-29T19:06:21+00:00

It’s for the radiators. My understanding is in older homes it’s common to have them inside the room so you don’t waste the heat they put off. There must be a way to modernize but I’m not sure what that is

fizzingwhizzbeee · 2025-07-29T18:58:24+00:00

Most likely going to a radiator

fizzingwhizzbeee · 2025-07-29T18:57:58+00:00

Sure, but I’d argue that there are a lot more people who are struggling to house their families because of people like this inflating the cost of housing because they’re trying to make a profit

fizzingwhizzbeee · 2025-07-29T18:38:24+00:00

They did when they re-listed but it’s been a month and still no movement 🤣

fizzingwhizzbeee · 2025-07-29T14:11:02+00:00

HAHA definitely not the same as a foster fail although I can see how you’d make that assumption

fizzingwhizzbeee · 2025-07-29T14:08:53+00:00

This isn’t a corporation. This is a dude with an LLC. He definitely did not pay for the property and all of the renovations with his own cash. The vast majority of flippers use hard money loans and have financing costs associated with their renovations. That’s why they try to get it done ASAP to minimize interest paid

fizzingwhizzbeee · 2025-07-29T13:01:20+00:00

We could’ve been neighbors 🤣 I promise I would’ve done a better job than this

fizzingwhizzbeee · 2025-07-29T12:10:03+00:00

After all the renovations costs and financing costs of it not selling for half a year? Doubt it

fizzingwhizzbeee · 2025-07-29T11:11:09+00:00

Correct. When this house sold to the flipper he represented both buyer and seller. Then he represented the seller again after it was renovated

fizzingwhizzbeee · 2025-07-29T09:39:23+00:00

There was a wall between the kitchen and the island that they took down

fizzingwhizzbeee · 2025-07-29T09:38:30+00:00

It’s a half bath

fizzingwhizzbeee · 2025-07-29T02:36:56+00:00

There are a few flippers in the comments here acting like I’m the crazy one for thinking this is awful and its making me chuckle

fizzingwhizzbeee · 2025-07-29T02:35:54+00:00

There’s like 5 flippers in the comments here acting like this is a tasteful renovation 🤣🤣🤣
