yup. We contacted the agent we bought our house from 10 years ago, said we are looking to sell. he came out looked the house over gave us a estimated sale price and said “call me when you are ready” after we told him we had to do some landscaping and get the place generally ready to sell.
he called last night and asked “if I got you 10% over what I said it would sell for (already a healthy number) would you be able to close in 30 days?
I laughed and said “why? sell it already?” he replied “only if you say yes”
so we have 29 days to move out lol.
blows me away someone would buy a home for lets say half a million based on old photos and someones word. but here we are.
That’s common where we lived previously. White hot market at a university. Bidding wars were common. The guy with the highest bid will be the hardest to work with. His price is the maximum he will pay and he’ll start grinding you down.
We sold the house, the guy next door sold his for double our price and now the Zestimate is $130k more than our price.
