They seem to be leveling out. Over the past month and a half that we have been looking, it was really driving me crazy and caused some arguements with me and the wife. I will never ever buy a house full price. I was just rasied that way. I was making offers on houses at 10% their asking price and was being turned away. I was getting so pissed that people were holding out for full asking price, not to mention most of the houses needed at least 40,000 worth of work. My wife and the realtor were on me about making better offers. A few weeks back I hit the roof while we were out. I felt the agent was steering me away from a sale with really no valid reason. I looked over the agent and just yelled in her face "PUT THE FUCKING BID IN WHERE I TOLD YOU!" She got the idea. Anyway this house had old people in it, and I guess they felt the same way as me or at least expected some money games. I left the property, put in the bid and got a call 1 hour later they were shutting down the open house.
God Doc. Rumson, man. I grew up in middeltown and stompped around sea bright my whole life. You are nuts for selling. My friend owns a house in Fair Haven, just off the border that he got for 300k about 5 years ago. The darn place is up to 900 now. For those of you who don't know, Rumson is very very old money. Some new comming in now. You would be hard pressed to find a house in that town for under 1.5 and it will most likly be a shack. I'm happy with TR, lord knows i can't move to middletown like I wish. I can afford the house but refuse to pay 12k a year in taxes. Funny TR is 30 mins down the parkway and the dam taxes are 2800 lol. The only thing that can go wrong now, is my water test I have insisted on. About 10 or 15 years ago some company was dumping chems in from the oyster nuke plant about 10 miles down the road. Everyone says the water is ok, and only affected the well systems not public water. But I still want that stuff tested, I can see it now. I have a kid in 10 years and he is born with a webcam for an eyeball. lol
