Thoughts/questions:

I believe the neighbor was using sarcasm as a weapon.

It’s always kind of strange when someone writes a letter and then says they are in the majority…they might be…might not…is there, like a vote on this type of thing?

This article says that a majority of Americans think that this is not the right time to buy a house. Wonder what this is about?

Thoughts/questions:

First time the figure has been below 50% since 1978! It reached a high of 80% in 2003-4.

So, this survey was done at what would be considered the worst time so far to have to buy a house

Saw an article on Realtor.com related to bidding wars and what you should pay attention to as a buyer…let’s see if I agree.

Thoughts/questions:

Bidding with many contingencies… I also agree this is a mistake.
