This stay at home crap got to me. I decided to give in to the wife's 15+ year effort to move.
It was CRAZY!!! First, we got 4 offers in 24hrs all of which were the exact same...$15k OVER what we listed for!!!!! Then, we got beat out of two offers we made on houses we liked even though we had to play the same "bidding war". We FINALLY had an offer accepted that was also $15k OVER asking price. Then, the house we sold actually appraised at the offer price and the one we bought appraised at 10K OVER what we offered!!!! INSANE
The BEST part of the money side of all off this is We got a VA loan at 2 3/8% interest!!!
Looks like we might even be able to transfer our property tax rate to the new house based on an initiative that was passed last election that will save us about $200 per month in taxes too. Hard to believe such good fortune in such shitty times, and in California no less!
