    I think it’s they don’t want to be sued.

    Zestimate magically jumps to listing price.
    Then slowly decays if it doesn’t sell.

    Seen it dozens of times.

    Not even a hint of a slowdown in Crested Butte. I listed a condo at $800sf last week and immediately got a bunch of offers. Unlike what Kevo is talking about in Driggs, there are no big developments here, or on the horizon. If there were 48 townhomes at $600K here, they would all be under contract in a day. There is no inventory. None. And it keeps shrinking.

    Haha, that's a good one. That looks to me as though the bullet went from inside to outside...am I wrong about that?

    It's looks counterintuitive, but that's an out to in. The projectile bends the glass sending radial cracks outward on the back side. The resulting shards break off of the (now longer) back side.

    Bullet was for comedic effect though. There's a pretty good chance it was just a weed-wacker throwing a rock at it.

    That's better than a shitbag kid with a BB gun, which is what we had in my neighborhood growing up. Littler twerp put a hole like that in a 5' x 5' picture window at the front of the house when I was in diapers, and I think it was still there when I was finishing up grade school.

    Is that a B'ham listing? I thought I was looking at them all, but I missed that one. It's been slim pickings this week.

    Yeah, it was this one

    I was at Dark Haggen anyway, so I drove by out of curiosity. I used to be friendly with the guy who lived there (years ago) because we were both into old motorcycles, so I had been in the garage, but never in the house.

    Oh damn, we did look at that one, just didn't recognize it. Almost asked our agent to do a walkthrough, but we decided it's just a little too funky. Weird choices in that converted garage - fancy inlaid floor and cinderblock walls? I am pretty fascinated by that lazy Susan closet though.

    Pretty easy to spot a flipper home. It's got Lowe's and/or HD DIY written all over it. py paint jobs where you can tell someone hardly bothered to prep or tape before hand. No symmetry. Each room looks like someone else designed it. Cats and dogs living together. Mass hysteria!

    I see that HGTV look in a lot of flips, where all the walls are dove gray and they have the same LVP flooring through the whole house. Barf. It already looks shitty, in 10 years it will be as appealing as the worst 70s design.

    Flips in this town seem already dated. It's like they were watching HGTV reruns.

    Yeah that house with the broken window looks promising (and strange) online, but neglected IRL

    I don't know what LPV flooring means, but, if it's the run of the mill composite everywhere in the house, then, yup. First sign of flipping.

    Which is why my house is getting new floors in a few years and most rooms repainted. Fucking assbag flippers. If I ever meet the guy that did our house...

    If zillow ruined the house market, pinterest is nearly singlehandedly responsible for the ruining of home renovation.

    He shouldn't. But I still want to kick in the junk and rub dog shit under his door handles. Same with the inspector my realtor used. That whole industry... what a fucking scam.

    Agreed on both accounts.

    pretty sure he means luxury vinyl planking.

    Same.

    Probably still would have bought the house, but some of the obvious shit I’ve found…

    Lesson: never take a referral for a home inspection from your own real estate agent.

    Yeah, I learned that lesson the hard way too. I'm working with a guy now who says RE agents never refer their clients to him, but they do put their friends and family who are buying houses in touch with him. No idea if that's actually true, but that does pretty much sum up my idea of a great home inspector.
