Congrats Beck!
“Had three more potential offers coming in, but when they found out there was already an offer, they backed out!”
You fell for that old trick? LMAO!
j/k
Congrats!
:tup: House party!!!
I know for a fact that they had atleast ONE other offer after mine. It was from the same real estate office that I was dealing with. <3
that makes it more suspect than if it had been from a different company.
it’s the equivalent of a sales person in the car world saying somebody already looked at this car and it’s the last one in red and they coming back in the morning to put a deposit down.
Oh come on I said j/k.
Out of curiosity, how much are yearly taxes?
Just a tad over $5,000 w/o STAR exemption.

I know <3333
Congrats, but move in ready? And a year ago it didn’t sell cause…?
:tup: Congrats!
fuck. I forgot how much NYS sucks in that department…my co worker here in Washington told me his house is worth around $250k and his yearly prop/school taxes are ~$900 a year. Plus we have no state income tax up here, and sales tax is around 9%.
but then again it’s washington state, nothing too crazy here besides some big ass animals.
What’s a STAR exemption?
Congrats, old man.
Say goodbye to your time and money. Move in ready means changes are inevitable. Congrats by the way.
Holy fuck! And I thought hamburg was bad
Congrats dude!
Every house I’ve looked at and two I’ve put offers in have had “other offers coming in”
Both houses I’ve put offers in are still on the market. Other offers my ass.
This is why I never want to own a house. My yearly rent comes in only about 30% higher than that, but I will never need to mow my lawn or shovel snow or fix the roof or replace the windows.
Having a monthly payment to have more responsibility and headache, nah.
It may be good for some people… just not me.
not unless you buy that fucker in cash! but yes those taxes will be there 4ever
^^As long as you are investing your money wisely somewhere else. That is the key. I know people that don’t want a mortgage but they piss their money away somewhere else and have nothing to show for it when it rains.
Yep. Between leasing the land from the government (property taxes) and paying interest on your mortgage (for most people), owning a home is often more expensive than renting. In the short run especially. But the quality of life is way better, and are you really working to have a higher score in your bank account than the next guy?
WNY factor…
I owned my last house for 10 years and the money I made was just about offset by property taxes, etc. In other words values don’t increase much and taxes are way too high BUT I still made a little money and did not pay rent for 10 years! AND had nice income tax deductions to boot.
