I submitted an offer on a home a year ago at $10K over for a total of $500K. I was told that my bid was rejected because the seller liked the other offer more. I come to find out that the home sold for $500,500. How does this happen usually? Is it an odd amount to win or did the other buyer know how much I bid and the seller let the other buyer have it for a few bucks more?
We moved to a new area that is more affluent than the one we came from. Weβve put out quite after quote at prices that seem to be on par with what weβve researched about the area. But people keep turning us down. We do really good work and of course there are operating costs to consider. For example, we do painting at about $1.90/sqft which I think is reasonable. Yet people are still saying no to that?? And they want whole houses painted, covering dark colors, cutting in various colors, etc. We bump it up to about $3-4/sq ft when they ask for ceilings that are over 8-10 ft and complete color changes. Am I missing something? Any advice?
Edit: Thereβs definitely arguments on both sides of the fence. To give some more exposition, the counties weβre working in right now donβt require licenses for home improvement (ours for the closest and I guess βrichestβ county is processing). So one of my theories was that itβs like the Wild West where people can give any number because theyβre not insured or licensed. And so the unprofessional dudes that donβt really care can snag the job with an off hand, super low number. Plus we REALLY try hard not to be those contractors that give you change order after change order because the labor is more than they thought. Which Iβve heard is what certain contractors will do just to get the bid.
I saved $85,000 for a down payment and with my loan I am eligible for a home in the mid 250-280s. That's not bad for a house!! I think its reasonable.
I don't know what to say, I am a first-time home buyer but I never knew purchasing a home was this up to luck and difficult.
Is that just the market now? Constantly being outbid? I feel so defeated I don't know what to do.
I don't want to live in Tomball and Conroe sucks.
I found an amazing 1760 Federal on Zillow by chance. It was pretty out of the way for my commute to work, but I was willing to work with that for the right price. Informally after falling in love with it despite it's issues, the price has gotten just too high to justify me moving across the state. I'm located in NJ, can anyone recommend a good way to find historic homes? I'm looking 1700-1880s preferably. But I'll give anything a good look. I search Zillow and redfin a lot, but I'm wondering if there's anywhere else I can look aside from just googling 'historic homes for sale' lol. Thank you all!
Story below. Great gesture by an all-time great on and off the court. Probably not a good strategy to announce your bidding intentions ahead of time, BUT it's for charity this time so more the $ the better.

Edit: looks like I misread and not all 11 rings are for auction and Reddit doesn't allow thread title editing. Still, lots of goodies are.
This reminds me we all need to make #kengriffinlied still a thing. ALSO:
Finally, KenGriffinLies.com is released, time to dig in and read everything on Kengriffinlies.com!
I can't wait to see more from KenGriffinlies.com and the team behind it. This is for sure going to hit Kenny boy where it hurts, he won't like KenGriffinlies.com at all.
Maybe KenGriffinLies.com can do some articles on others too? If KenGriffinlies.com does any articles on Robinhood that would be cool too. I'm going to tell everyone i know of that KenGriffinLies.com is live. Hopefully a lot of people see KenGriffinLies.com as a good source of information.

Two physicians that offered 1.25 million cash. Just wanted to rant about the California market.
You better upload a picture of that pink Snowy Bleach-Mr. Bubbles Scripto Vu lighter or else the next lot of lighters you buy will get damaged in transit /s
Hope to get the wisdom of the seasoned Google Ads experts.
I am running a separate brand name campaign (2 brand keywords, same as domain) with a small spend of β¬10/day. Ad relevance, strength - all excellent.
Based on this, I'd like to see the Abs. top of page rate to be high, but we're around 30% mark, with 2 competitors ranked above with 35-40%. Are they spending an absolute bomb outbidding me or how does this work?
Would switching to maximise clicks instead of conversion increase adrank? We have very low online conv rate selling commercial items.
Figured yall would appreciate (unlike Zillow's inventory lol)
Nothing special just frustrated again lol, been looking for a home consistently since April now (was looking for about 4 months before, but got laid off from work during covid which halted the search). Put in offer number 6 on a house we loved, got the call this morning they went with another offer, hurts a little more everytime lol. 1st offer got declined, house sold for 5k less than we offered... 2nd offer got declined, house sold for about 12k more than we offered (we offered about 10k over asking). 3rd offer got declined, house sold for 60k over what we offered/asking. 4th offer never even got a response, haven't seen the home online since then looks like they took it down. 5th offer a short sale home got accepted, then declined, then accepted again, then declined, then asked to wait and see what they could do, then I pulled out of the deal. Now 6th offer got declined, offered 20k over asking, sellers agent said they picked another offer.
Worst feeling about this one is I could've honestly offered more, but felt like 20k over asking was a solid shout. Oh well, wallowing in the sadness today and starting up the search again tomorrow. Good Luck everyone.
Hello everyone! I hope all is well with you all.
First, some context:
State: GA [Atlanta METRO Area]
Household income: 75k Gross (~5000mo after tax)
Monthly obligations:
- Health insurance: $750/mo ($120 for me through my employer + $630 for spouse and child through marketplace.)
- Rent: $400 (parents)
- Car payment: $327/mo
- Car insurance: $217/mo
- Groceries: $500/mo
- Phone bill: $75/mo
- Credit card debt: $60/mo (only $300 left to pay-off)
- Subscriptions: $53/mo
Savings: 16k
Family gifts contingent on home purchase: 7.5k
My spouse and I have been trying to buy a house in this crazy market for around 8 months. We've already placed 12 offers and only got accepted on a neglected home that came back with a poor inspection report [backed out] and an overpriced, 315k townhouse with a 288/mo HOA [backed out so that we would not become house-poor].
So we started looking into rentals and are only seeing a minimum of 1550/mo with an average rent of 1750/mo! How do people live and save with so little leftover a month?
Should we rent in the school district that we want (~rent 1850/mo) and then try to buy a house next year when things cool down?
Or should we just start trying to buy a townhome as a happy-medium between renting and buying a house? Our only concern with townhome is the resale value when the market normalizes knowing that single family homes always sell quicker.
All advice is appreciated! Thank you!
I'm looking to buy a house by Lafayette square. Any tips is it quite safe?
