Paid 1135000 in 2014. Current value is greater than 2. Means nothing though as I don't plan on selling anytime soon. The low interest rate on the refi is nice though. Knocked seven years off and still lowered the nut down to 4100.

Me either. My next home is going to be Union. That’s a cemetery here in MN.

Turns out there was a competing offer, and that offer included a similar escalation clause, only theirs was $500 over and capped at $9000 over asking. So he beat them out by $1000.

It's almost like buying a house on eBay.
Serious question:

It seems very convenient that another escalation-clause-offer came in so it tops off to just below what the final buyer's escalation clause tops off to.

How does one do a deal like that where you can be certain that the seller's agent didn't pay a homeless guy to submit the $500/9000 escalation offer in order to squeeze the extra $10k out of the deal?

We got a copy of the other offer and it looked legit to me.

If you're going to include an escalation clause, which includes your top dollar, include a Proof of Funds letter that shows you're approved for that dollar amount, or provide a copy of your bank statement that shows you have the cash to support your offer.

Because 3% of 10,000 is the realtors cut and that ain’t very much when it comes to risking losing your license not to mention what it would cost to have another realtor in on the scam.

You think a first-time homebuyer is going to be paying cash?
