I didn't realize the market dropped to that point. As long as I've been buying houses (7 years), offers asking for closing cost money is a non-starter. Hell, we had to waive our right to ask for fixes after the inspection on our current house to make our above ask offer more appealing.
"The market" is local. Everything we have bought or sold (or tried to buy in the case of NY) in those same 7 years went for well below asking with various concessions from the seller.
True, things are very dependent on region/location.

Just didn't realize how "hot" areas of the metro Detroit region can be.

so, I spent most of the day unfucking the garage. I have space for a car, perhaps some sqaut stands, and it's generally not a disaster. I also swaped to good wheels to the Miata.

The process of moving itself sucks slightly less than cancer, but only slightly.

This got me thinking. I've moved only 4 times in my life. The first time when I was 2 years old, the the last time 22 years ago next weekend. That seems pretty low to me.

I don't think I could count mine. Several when I was <10 and don't really remember, maybe 6-8 during that time? Then again at:

12
13
14
17 x2
18 x2
19 x2
20
26
27
29
33 x2

So I guess 20-25 times depending on what you count. Like we lived in a hotel for 7-8 weeks last Feb-March, did that count as a move?

Moves don't count unless you're lifting heavy shit, having your life spun into organizational chaos, and paying out the whazoo.

I can't count mine. After college, I moved at least once a year until we moved to Detroit in 2013...so that's between 6-10 times. Then the 3 houses.

Count dorms and apartments in college, and that's even more...

I haven't LIVED in the same place for longer than 2 years for 16 years now. :disgust:

Yep, I'm probably a similar number, and also never moved before 18.

Dang. :wtf: was going on in your life between 17 and 20 that caused you to move 7 times in 3 years? Or are you counting moving to and from college every year?

A lot of these are totally :scrooge: moves :doe:

Three times I moved back in with my parents for a month or two while lining up another :scrooge: roommate living situation. I count them because I did the full pack up all my shit, move it somewhere each of those times. A few times I got storage units while staying with them as I owned furniture and had nowhere to put it at their house. All of that plus a new place basically every year for various reasons, since college started. Hopefully this one sticks a while longer now that we own it.

Not counting college/law school moves where I could pack all of my possessions in a 240 series Volvo.

Moves in which I actually had furniture of some stripe and had to move the shit myself or pay for it.........7
