Yep getting mighty close to becoming time to sell the house around here

Seems my neighborhood just hit a huge spike and houses smaller than mine are going for 235k a pop and selling at that price. Considering I bought for 130 about 3 years ago I would think I could offer it out as it sits for 200 and get that but once the improvements are done I am expecting to get about 275-300k for it.

Not bad for owning a house less than 5 years and if I hold it longer who knows where it will go.

 

With real estate, you can't have the "Castles in the Sky" mentality of investing. But that's a decent jump in 5 years, I bet it'll level back out within 18 months.

 

Where are you planning on moving John?

 

Not planning at this point but when I do sell and move I am off to Montana most likely. I am not fond of the NW although I am making the most of it while I am here.

 

Hows come your not moving to California?


:chuckles:

 

I feel ya. I'm NW born and raised so I see it differently, but I totally understand why not everybody is cut out for this area. What about your daughters?

 

Most notably SF?

 

good luck with the selling and the big move, the west coast will miss ya john :hs:

 

I won't even tell you what i bought and sold my condo for
buy low sell high
ftw!

have you thought about renting it out?

 

how big is your house
