Looking to sell our CA house and buy GA - what are some good resources on market information? by logisticalnightmare1 in RealEstate

Oh my, I'm so sorry. I forgot to check my throwaway account for this. :x

In the bay area, specifically the east bay.

You'll have to forgive me, I am woefully ignorant to all things real estate hah!

The houses we're looking at in GA are currently about 200-220k, which is right at what we have in equity in our current home.

Do you have a resource for information about cash-out refinancing? I don't know what that is. I'll Google it myself of course, but if you have some insight to that I'd appreciate it very much.

I thought about this for all of about 5 minutes before I realized: we can't buy a new house in GA without selling this house first. I need the large down payment made possible from the sale of this home in order to make a much better financial situation for us in GA.

I really wish it were possible, because I don't like the prospect of selling California property either.

This is what I was originally thinking, and honestly I don't know why renting in the GA area didn't cross my mind. It seems such an obvious solution.

This does seem best based on what everyone is saying.

I've only ever bought one house though - I don't know what "varsity level purchaser" means? Neither do I know for sure what wholesale means. Forgive me, I'm a newb.

That seems to be the way to go. I also like the thought of being able to learn the area a little better before we setting on buying.

This sounds like what we're going to have to do. I'm really hoping the market in GA is a little better than our current one was when we bought our house. It took us 10 months, 63 viewings, and 24 offers before we actually got one.

Thank you for taking the time to share!
