So the latest in the JP leaves south Philly hell saga:

Put an offer on a house in the close suburbs. List was $450k. Offer was $460k with a $5k escalation clause up to (gulp) $600 fucking thousand. So a max of $150k over list. And we need a mortgage but are willing to cover, in cash, up to $100k discrepancy in appraisal result. Our mortgage is fully underwritten and comes with a $10k guarantee to the seller.

Didn’t get the house. Cash buyer got it at a lower price.

Fuck this.

You know what the answer is.

Leave Philly. Like the greater area. Knoxville has great bike trails.

Yeah. We are staying near Philly to be closer to her parents. But I’m on board, this city feels pretty stale to me.

The real estate market you are decribing is quite insane. It makes California look normal. $460K offer but you'll go up to $600K but that is still a hard no dawg? So what do you think the winning offer was?

No clue. We will find out later once the sale is complete. But probably low $500k ish? I guess my escalation clause needed to be more aggressive so instead of $5k over next best offer it should have been what $15k?

DB said i dont get it... had to remove quote for server errors...

me either, if your agent cant pry the conditions out the other agent, and has been unsuccessful in brokering you guys a successful deal thus far its time to

FIRE THEIR ASS

Getting the specifics on why you were unsuccessful on specific properties is like, their job man.

Selling agent will not disclose sale price until the sale is completed and it’s in public record.

JP house update: Just sweated through my shirt twice while dropping off 100+ letters to houses in our target area. Got one response so far so that's nice. We'll see if it leads anywhere.
