Add selling a House today to Lynns List.
A friend of mine got in over her head 13 years ago and paid way to much for a House,as the economy tanked right after the closing...She had to beg borrow & steal to keep her head above water for nearly as long,as she wanted to move,but her current House value price plummeted and she couldn't absorb that kind of a loss.
So she stuck in out for some 13 years,and by God,house prices last year predicted she could not only get back her initial buying price from 13 years ago,but get a heck of a lot more over that too.She also sold it w/o a realtor,and sold it for 3X more then she paid,as everyone ran from Covid in the cities and overpaid in the rural Suburbs.
Today she is living with her boyfriend in his childhood house.When the house prices eventually soften and we no longer have to pay OVER a sellers asking price as they take the highest offer,the 2 plan to sell his modest childhood house and take the nearly 500K she has burning a hole in her pocket and buy a nice House that she could never imagine owning as a waitress.
