Well, you are entitled to your opinion. That said, I’m not trying to shame individual buyers. It is more just documenting sales that reflect a broken or speculative market. I think that is a valid "reason."
All the addresses I mention are public and already on Zillow/Redfin, along with all the other details. I’m not listing out bidder names or license plates... just citing public sales. It’s less about the buyer (who is not mentioned) and more about how far from fundamentals pricing has drifted.

- Compzilla 1y agoFair enough. I see your point... probably a poor turn of phrase. I will avoid using it if I do post such a chronicle of transactions.
- leakycap 1y agoGood luck on your house search. It will work out if you're open, but I found I had to be more open than I thought.
- leakycap 1y agoHigh paying jobs come and go over the decades. Mortgages and associated lifestyle expenses are very hard to get rid of in the short time a major pay change can occur. If the price is off-putting, let your senses guide you and be off-put by it and find somewhere that makes you excited and filled with a sense of opportunity for you -- and be sure it's well within your resources so it doesn't pinch immediately the second taxes go up, something leaks, another thing breaks, and the retaining wall needs work. Home ownership costs so much more than you expect; buy well within your means if you want a happy home lifestyle.
