Welcome you back to the state with open arms. We need more good people here

Bingo. A couple of summers ago my youngest son's then fiancee piped, "Can you imagine owning a place in the mountains"? Son, " We do." They do.

There are homes in the outskirts of Charlotte that are selling in hours after being listed. Some are getting bids at over $100,000.00 more than the asking price. Many are bought by folks that have only seen pictures of the home. Northeasterners have money, and they are moving here in droves. It is truly an insane situation.

Hmmmmm,....

3 bedrooms, two baths, man cave with super sound and a huge flat screen, garage with too many tools, full likker locker, at least five more pistols, ice cold beer.

Just the basics

You don’t HAVE to “buy into the same market”. The “profit” from selling and pulling up stakes works best when you LEAVE your market and use that money to buy or build in a more reasonable market. 😉

TN is getting overrun with Commiefornites, I am going to dig a hole in the ground in Weakley County at the end of a gravel driveway and cut some shooting slits in the berms. I will General the construction myself and use subs that I know and who I have made a lot of money for in the recent past. Madison County has gone to the dogs and is now a certified shathole, average HS graduate reads on 4th grade level, crime is terrible. Tired of making rich fuggers richer and will never get on another commercial air liner.

Going to the country, got to get away...

Bought 80 acres a year ago or so, with an eye towards selling current house, building new and moving. At that time I got a budgetary price on a timber home package. Just this past week that same package is 60% higher. Wifey-poo and I are recently retired and have just too much house now that kids are gone and the market is hot around here just like most places, semi-rural, private, quiet, (translation no groids). But although I could sell my house for a sweet price, that 60% premium might be prohibitive. Like others have said, where ya gonna go if you sell!!!

NYC south. There is no amount of money that could make me move there.

Charlotte's full of undesirables.

moving to Utah ?

Bring your own water supply........

That has spread to the high country of western NC, lots of non-residents showing up with lots of cash and paying way over market for property and homes .

As for Charlotte, it's just over two hours away and it's way too close. Don't go there unless I absolutely have to (to the airport if I can't get out of Tri- Cities in TN) .

Don't know if it's NYC South, but it makes Metro Detroit look like a nice place .

exactly ..bob

But I don't want to move to Lame Deer, Mt.

I live in the poorest county in the US, and own property in the second. I've been offered close to 30 times what I have invested in the property. But nothing beats being able to hunt and fish on your own property. And having your own mile long driveway keeps all the thieves away....so far. I'm not selling till I find something better and that's not looking like is going to happen.

You're right, there is that consideration. Art

I agree brother fubar. I don’t buy a place because it’ll be worth money later. I buy because that’s where I want to live. I don’t buy vehicles based on resale, or guns as investments either. I came to the conclusion life it too short to live in a shidt hole liberal state, when I could die before realizing my “investment”. Years wasted.

Sage advice. Had I had you wisdom MANY years ago I wouldn't have wasted all this time in PA. But here I am, a little fish in a Dumocrat pond.

Smart Man!
