You are ashamed of it, aren't you? I asked for a pic two days ago and you conveniently ignored the request.

Loling at “charming” being one of the first several words of the PV house.

Houses in my neighborhood are routinely selling for 200k over asking within 12 hrs of listing. It’s crazy out there guys

People are starving for houses. Never seen anything like it. Part of me wishes for a recession just so people calm the heck down. Labor market is crazy too.

i would have sworn a bunch of dead / retirement home boomers and several years of slowed down immigration would have led to a housing surplus

i'm 90% sure this is a joke

but if you're not joking, you're lying.

neither a joke, nor a lie. Have looked at 4 houses in the last 2 weeks, in my neighborhood, on the day of listing. 3 of them were already 200 over asking and one was 175.

boomers don't seem to be dying all that much*, and a lot of them refuse to leave their homes for a retirement/nursing home**

* this is purely anecdotal and I'm sure someone will come in here and yell at me about the death rates blah blah blah

** this too is anecdotal and just seems to be what I am noticing in my area

A house 2 doors down from us sold for more than $100k over asking recently. It’s absolutely an insane market right now. I’m not saying the housing prices don’t reflect fair market, but the crazy low inventory has made FMV skyrocket.

I can’t remember if I shared it here, but in the process of refinancing we got quotes from appraisers that were over $200k apart despite being done within 2 weeks of each other.

yeah it's crazy, I'm glad I'm not in a spot where I NEED to buy a house, but more just looking for more convenience etc.

In my experience appraisals are wildly inaccurate, and it's a shame banks and lenders put such a huge emphasis on them

One of you should swoop in and grab that Washington blvd house in kck.  Beautiful!

What part of KC?  200 over asking is insane and I’m still suspicious. 

If it’s mission hills or somewhere where 200 equates to 20ish percent then that’s a lot less crazy, but if people are paying 500 or 600 for 300 and 400 llistings, that seems absolutely bananas and hard to believe.

Yeah that makes more sense.  20-25% over asking is still nuts, but less nuts than >50 percent.

Who knew KCFD was a billionaire???
