House Hunt

Money Matters
Nov 132009

I have been on the prowl lately.

There’s a house that’s caught my eye. It’s in a neighborhood not too far from the one I live in now, which for many people who want to live in San Francisco is a little out there. But I’m okay with that. If I want to afford a single family house in San Francisco, there will be sacrifices made on location, size, newness, etc. I’m currently working on getting pre-approved for a loan, and based on certain circumstances, bidding on the house will actually take place in court on some date still to be determined.

I will likely not get the winning bid, considering that it’s definitely of move-in condition and is starting out under $500K. For SF, that’s amazing for not being in a particularly bad neighborhood. I am hopeful, however, that I will find something eventually. I’m not in a rush, but it certainly doesn’t hurt to look around.

    You never know, you might get the winning bid :) Good luck! House buying can be quite stressful, but there's nothing wrong with having a look to see what's out there in the market.

    In this market you never know. Our home had 13 offers on it and they took ours despite contractors offering cash and soforth.

    And you know owning a property in SF can only increase in value… the prices there are crazy!

    13 offers?! That's ridiculous. :-/ Glad you two were able to get it.

    So when can I come check out the house and the dog!? :)

    That is really exciting! I will keep my fingers crossed for you.

    It will likely not happen. There were some other issues with the house later disclosed to me, so I'm not sure I want to pursue it anymore.
