Real Estate Crash thread

[Ted Striker]

I kinda feel bad now. I thought that troll was pretty obvious based on the way the thread was going.

All you gotta do to be cool in my book is donate time or money to our local trial organization.

The lawyers are on their own as far as I'm concerned.

It was, lol.

Well unlike most people out here I actually want MORE people to move to Montana. Especially mountain bikers. There are amazing back-county rides that we don't have enough volunteers t get cleared with any frequency. Our local organizations need more donations to build jump trails and work on advocacy. And we need more people willing to goto meetings and contribute to forest plan comments so the Wilderness society doesn't keep kicking us off rides that we do all the work to keep open in the first place.

And buy a massive pickup truck to sit in I70 traffic all weekend.

You apparently have never sat in traffic in a small pickup truck before. Massive pickup truck is definitely the way to go.

Sign me up RoooR, er, wait a minute. "What did you say honey? Go fuck myself, you're never moving?"
Uuuuh, I guess I am going nowhere.

Green is legal just over the border in WA or MT. .

MJ has been legal everywhere in Canada for a couple of years so I can walk 2 blocks and buy cheaper/better from the store than I ever could on the black market BUT I would not suggest you try to bring MJ across the border in either direction

[dunfree]

Anaconda. Except no legal green yet. And a nice 4/2 is under 250k.

Great place to raise mutants

[schuss]

rangeley maine.

Accurate. For that price it may even be on a lake.

[Kevo]

The deal with my neighbors fell through. After being very excited about $760k last night they wanted to do $745k today. I walked away.

Guess it's time to go sell if for $825k on the market.

[liv2ski]

Kevo, is Redfin in your hood? They list it for 1% and then you pay the buyers agent 2% so 3% in total commissions. If the market is hot, no way am I paying more than 4% in total commissions.

So maybe you guys could help me... Which smallish town with sub-one hour access to lift-served and backcountry, and a solid trail network, chill locals, quality micros, legal green, high speed internet, good schools - and most importantly, it has to be somewhere nobody knows about - where a 2bed/2bath can be had for under 350k?

Colfax, Grass Valley, CA foothills area is close. Exceptions are chill locals and the 2b2b for 350 needs some work.

Kevo, is Redfin in your hood? They list it for 1%

Only if you do buy and sell with them. 1.5% is Sell only fee.

[liv2ski]

So 3.5% in commission. Winner winner...

Bariloche.

plus, Carrie Stevens is a centerfold

[Kevo]

Thanks all. Redfin is in my hood but I won't be buying with them so it would be a bit more expensive. I'm talking to a couple realtors in the next day to get a few opinions and then I'll go from there. Also called my neighbors landscape dude who is cleaning up front flower beds and adding a couple flowers for curb appeal.

Gotta touch up some stain on the deck and paint some trim and then the house is good to go.

Hoping to list next weeked or the weekend after.

I know just such a place.
A 2x2 1100sqft with double garage and pad for huge ass land yacht just sold for $350. Place is 10 years old, was lived in 4 mos per yr.
Skiing at two mediocre resorts, both within an hour.
Backcountry requires long slogs
MTB is mediocre. Lot of hiking trails.
Flat water, whitewater are good.
Excellent fishing
Schools are excellent, weed is legal, internet is good in town, lot of beer.
The locals are mostly entertaining. The tourons more so.
But I would have to kill you if I told you where it was.

[glademaster]

ahhhh....yes. An alias account that posts pics when i can, offers help in areas that i have knowledge in, and seeks the advice of mags. totally dude. Every newer member is an alias

None of that negates your JONG status. Take a lap.

Great sourdough bread in Grass Valley.

Thanks for the reminder to never get married. "No, you can't take a 25% pay cut to move to a ski town!" "Watch me."

[Ted Striker]

This place never ceases to amaze me. Some good responses to my question even though I was trying to make fun of some of the bickering (by eliciting more). Better than many of the real threads on that topic. Got a pm on some town I'd never really heard of that probably ticks most of those boxes. So an honest thanks to everyone.

[Ted Striker]

Wouldn't be the first time someone tried to kill me.

I'm guessing that's Bend? or maybe Sisters? Even though I'm not really moving at the moment, they're on my radar.

Years ago I was at Broken Top Bottle shop and one of the staff noticed my wife was wearing a hoodie from one of our local breweries, and their attitude immediately flipped from 'fucking tourons' to Bellingham, fuck yeah!

[Ted Striker]

Bariloche.

That's one of the few places my wife would actually be onboard with. In a heartbeat.

The borders I was speaking of are the Idaho/Washington and Montana/Idaho border, not the Canada/USA border. Easy to sneak weed across state lines in the USA, especially the Idaho panhandle. Not easy to get past the border guards.

[XXX-er]

Ok I see, but Isnt a state border just a sign that sez welcome to where ever you are ?

[Ted Striker]

Sometimes cops wait by the side of the road just inside the ID state line. I didn't get pulled over (for no reason) last time, but I did the time before. The cop turned out to be ok, but I wasn't guilty of anything.
