Wifey poo and I have been considering putting our home up for sale for quite a bit so after some haggling we settled on an asking price then added $100K to it just for giggles. WOW ! Calls and emails from all over the country. Sold in 4 days cash. Smith K 38 in my near future ???? I think so !

I hope your move is pleasant and easy as possible and your new place makes you as happy as mine has made me.
Wow though, on the circumstances of the sale/price.
Brave new world we are entering.

Dbuck, back to Pa. Health is making it a PIA to maintain the property to a high standard so time to get the hell out of Dodge. Wasn't a quick decision .

Nice! Good for you guys on taking advantage of the hot market. I fear that Beijing Biden will ruin the economy in short order so we’ll be listing our house this spring.
We bought our house when the housing market was still in the basement and paid $300,000 less than the previous owners did. We searched for the best value we could find at the time and after a year of looking at dozens and dozens of houses we fell in “love” with this place. We were approached by several realtors last year that told us they could get right around a million for it now. Considering we paid just under $400K 7 years ago I am happy with that rate of return…..I only hope that we’re safe until spring. We’re using part of the proceeds to build our forever home and a couple homes for our children on our place up north and start building our new business.
Congratulations again on the sale. Now go get that K38. 👍

That's the other side of the hot market sword. Almost have to downsize or buy a big boat!

I could sell my cabin and 81 acres for a whole bunch more than I paid for it two years ago. But I wouldn’t have my cabin and 81 acres.  I need the cabin and 81 acres more now than money. Life is short. ![[Linked Image from i.postimg.cc]](https://i.postimg.cc/Zn1LFGyZ/76-A02081-53-D7-4765-B842-7041-B47-CD5-B1.jpg)

I think you're being a bit optimistic thinking this current bubble isn't going to bust sooner than this coming Spring. I'm taking it day by day, this administration may excellerate the inevitable but it's gonna bust no matter. I didn't get caught sitting on anything I hadn't intended on keeping in 07 and I won't this time either. I don't know a single investor that's buying right now. Sell now and lease a place until you head off to your new home in AK. Anything else is a risky gamble at this point.
