My little real estate story. Had an accepted offer on a rancher in South Surrey at 1.27m (30k under asking) with a subject to inspection. Inspection brought back lots of problems so I tried to knock another 50k off but they killed the deal. House sold the next week for 1.3m.
Everyday the wife and I would check for new homes but nothing of interest was showing up. Fast forward to February and finally see a home at 1.38m. We know the market is heating the fuck up so we can't have any subjects. Take a gamble and do a pre-inspection, few issues but nothing major. Put in a 120k over asking offer. Lose out to a 155k over asking offer. Pretty bummed.
Last week we see another home for 1.4m, 2000sqft, 8300sqft lot in South Surrey. House is immaculate. We go balls to the walls and offer 163k over asking.... up against multiple offers... And we barely got it.
God I'm glad to be done with this. Real Rollercoaster of emotions.
