Augie Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 Ha!! Well it gets listed on the MLS this evening. Â Great view! And the pics never do it justice. Is it too late for me to make an offer?
Chef Jim Posted May 25, 2017 Author Posted May 25, 2017 Great view! And the pics never do it justice. Is it too late for me to make an offer? Never too late.
Augie Posted May 25, 2017 Posted May 25, 2017 Never too late. I will begin the bidding at $27.50, a hopper full of used tennis balls and an indoor/outdoor ping pong table (one wheeel broken and delivery not included). Pretty strong first offer, I think. PM me if you want a quick close.

Â Home is so hot it received bids before it was even listed.

In all seriousness, best of luck with the sale and the transition. Hope it's all you want......and more! Â Â Â (But, did the early bids top mine? I thought the ping pong table was pretty enticing. ) Â Â We sold a house in FL before it ever hit the market back in the peak. The buyer's parents were friends with the folks we bought from. She had been in the house as a teen. We put it in MLS saying no showings until some kitchen changes were made. She was a co-worker of my wife and called asking if she could come over for coffee. They offered about $20k below list, we said go check MLS....we just raised the asking price $20k (without ever having shown it!), but you can have at the old ask for a deal today. Hot markets are funny. Edited May 26, 2017 by Augie
Jon in Pasadena Posted May 26, 2017 Posted May 26, 2017 House prices in SoCal have gone completely bonkers. They're now surging over the pre-crash peaks. Â I bought in late 2007, right before the massive crash, and had good folks on TBD wishing me luck. Â Last I checked I was up 30% over my purchase price, and I'm afraid to check it now, because it's probably up even more. Â Thank heavens for Proposition 13 or the taxes alone would eat me alive! Â Of course it's all relative to location; the Inland Empire hasn't rebounded as much as the Foothills, etc. Â Palm Springs would be nice for retirement. I was out there with relatives this Spring.
Gugny Posted May 26, 2017 Posted May 26, 2017 You're probably not going to need your Egg where you're moving. Â When you're ready to ship, let me know and I'll give you my address. Â Or perhaps you can attend the SHOOTY.

Â Regarding property taxes. Our taxes are now about $7,600 a year. The new owners will likely pay about $14,000 a year. Based on that the city/county should be paying us to sell to double their tax base. You're probably not going to need your Egg where you're moving. Â When you're ready to ship, let me know and I'll give you my address. Â Or perhaps you can attend the SHOOTY. Â It's currently in storage someplace. Â I still haven't figured out SHOOTY.

Augie Posted June 7, 2017 Posted June 7, 2017 Oh sorry. Three offers, two solid. It's the broken wheel on the ping pong table, isn't it? That can be fixed!
