If you really want to get the house of your dreams then it’s best to see it in person. Have the house inspected by a professional to make sure it’s free from serious damages. Also, do a background check on the neighborhood and check to see if it’s safe enough for your family. That way, you’ll never regret your purchase.Mica Blakehttp://www.cobrokemls.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=46noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-47248029972528842462012-05-08T12:26:41.159-04:002012-05-08T12:26:41.159-04:00It all sounds sort of stressful to me; but then I ...It all sounds sort of stressful to me; but then I am still remembering when my daughter and son-in-law had to move in 2011...it all happened so quickly...and there was so much more going on at the time.

Perhaps your DD and SIL should look at brand new construction? I don't know your price ranges there but it might take them out of the bidding wars.Boyett-Brinkleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02066753762645278933noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-60237078194259544002012-05-06T07:36:41.165-04:002012-05-06T07:36:41.165-04:00We are not selling or buying but I wish the housin...We are not selling or buying but I wish the housing market could take off like yours.

I don't envy them...what a pain :( I'm sure something will come along but it can be so frustrating. We moved 1500 miles and it was terrible looking for a house when you're so far away. Just because it looks nice online doesn't mean it looks nice in person!!!Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05012718481371649308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-12619049743200328742012-05-05T15:31:12.971-04:002012-05-05T15:31:12.971-04:00I don't get it with the house wars either.

We couldn't keep up with the offers! With-in six days we had 9 offers. I told the fellow selling the place just to take the guest room. WE got more then we put it on the market for. No arguments there, only they tore the cottage down and built a two story 'home' for summer use only. Good for them!simplicityinthemakinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14492407981286638459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-86802599599614551242012-05-05T14:49:21.973-04:002012-05-05T14:49:21.973-04:00Our market in Edmonton (I am selling in Sherwood P...Our market in Edmonton (I am selling in Sherwood Park right now just outside of Edmonton) is not like Torontos - no multiple offers yet but things are picking up. Calgary is more like Toronto I understand. I would hate to get into a bidding war. <br /><br />Your farm house, by the way, is one of the absolutely loveliest homes I've seen (at least from the outside shot you have posted). The stone is just georgous. I am sure when you finish whatever your renovations are the inside will be just as lovely.Cheapchickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15158208632054014311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-91701002562464757072012-05-05T13:53:08.348-04:002012-05-05T13:53:08.348-04:00I totally understand what they are going through. ...I totally understand what they are going through. Years ago we bought a couple of houses simply by making an offer and having the seller agree. Now that we are in Las Vegas we have been in bidding war after bidding war on houses that really do need a lot of work to make them livable. I thought this was only happening in Las Vegas, I had no idea it was happening in other cities as well!Cash Only Livinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13658816214856647685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-63240623185693290502012-05-05T07:20:19.081-04:002012-05-05T07:20:19.081-04:00I dread the day we sell and/or move.I dread the day we sell and/or move.Cindy@NorthofWiartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00262513991016475701noreply@blogger.com
