More like surreal. Stopped there this summer on my way to Glacier. Was going to go to the museum, which I've been to a couple times before, but the amount of sketchers hanging around prompted me to point it on down the road instead. Sad situation.Quote:

Is that a selling point?Quote:
urinate on the 3 houses surrounding yours from inside your house.
New Studio's at $500/sq.ft. deed restricted? I want to know where all the money went. Where is the spreadsheet with the build costs? This is the shit that makes people cringe when I show up at the meetings. The non profit entities have so many layers of profit it's insane.
Meanwhile, around here, my buddy's and I would love to build market rate low cost housing but the redtape to get high density improved in insane. The referenced studio complex I talked about was $100K out of pocket in preconstruction costs just to get shut down.
Sounds like a screaming deal that you couldn't get around here.Quote:

Can we talk about the RE Agent / Brokerage industry…..
Its 2023…. Why is it still standard to use an RE Agent?
Did you feel like your agent brought you $XX,XXX in value during your last transaction?
How responsible is the RE Agent / Brokerage industry for the current price of things. 15 years of “Oh, your gunna have to offer $100k over because……” certainly has had an affect…
Anyone bought/sold outside of an agent / brokerage?

We've done both, private party transactions have a time and place. That being said, good agents are worth the money, crappy agents give the entire profession a bad name.
honestly when I bought my house twenty years ago the real estate agents were key
and I feel like went above and beyond
seriously
uninhabitable trashed home liar loan unverified income those were the days
but they made it all happen some how and I really did do shit nor stress about anything
when I last used an agent she sold my last house in 3 weeks, a month later the entire market was completely down the tubes but I missed that downturn cuz it was such a fast dealQuote:

people say there is no need for a scum sucking RE agent but then why haven't the RE agents all dissappeared why are RE agents still around ?
right now my son is upgrading his starter for 5 acres and a bigger house, there is a bit to lining up both deals and its pretty handy for him to use RE agents
And this is exactly why everywhere turns to shit. People move from "that" place to a new place. When the new place doesn't have exceedingly overpriced/overcrowded trailheads/housing etc they are like "this isn't bad you should see it in Colorado/California/Texas......and it eventually turns into new boulder..er..bozeman.Quote:

You just try and stay one step ahead moving down valley into the sage riding on the coattails of the rich peoples check books.
Friends, skis, snowmobiles, paragliders, kayaks, sun, snow, rain...nothing else matters.
Make sure you let the powers that be that they are the ones burning it all down. You are a product of your decisions. Make yourself happy.

People are always looking for the next cool place to live like where they live will fix all their problems. It usually won't even if you cash out and have a million bucks in the bank when you move there, there is a reason it costs so much here, and not there.
I don't know, maybe it won't solve everything, but I think where one lives can solve at least some problems. Like your kid's education or rural/urban social preferences for example.
For sellers, there’s a certain amount of value (a lot actually) for not having to deal with flake/asshole/time wasting buyers.Quote:

theres also perhaps not relevant here difference between places where”police broke down the door and shot the dog because they had the wrong address” and “sure you were driving 55 in a 30, but I’m gonna let you go” placesQuote:

I had found a house in town myself and he again beat the sellers down by about 6K. He got some nice commissions, I got what I wanted and he bought me a nice BBQ Grill as a housewarming present.
The $$$ was worth it.
I'd argue the primary difference between those two police actions is the skin tone of the affected party, not the location.
Canada is cheap. Trail BC is amazing but all the skiers have to live up the hill in Rossland to maintain appearances. Alaska is cheap. If you want to be near something on Epic or Ikon and high paying jobs its expensive.Quote:

every ski bum in Canada has been plugging numbers into mls and coming up with trail so a few years ago a ski patrol bud at the hill said the same thing about Trail, wow its got some really cheap houses on the mls to which I replied well yeah I spent a little time in trail, so maybe you wana look first so they patroled a season at Red and looked at the RE
the cheap houses were from when trail was being built with crooked roofs, with gables that over lap the house next door , and one house had a stream running thru the basement
also there is a smelter right in down town Trail
they came back and bought local
and btw Canada is not cheap
Trail is cheap in the long run, because you get cancer from the mining debris, and die young, meaning you paid relatively few mortgage payments.
So true, the white methheads in the Nevada trailer park should get the same treatment as the rich black guy that lives down the street from Bmills ( tony Atlanta burbs).Quote:
