Re: Moving Thread
 

I'm in a very fortunate situation due to unfortunate circumstances. Both of my dad's parents recently passed away (my grandma more recently). They lived in Walnut Creek, CA for a long time. That is one of the more expensive areas up there. So between the money they had saved and the insane equity in their townhome that was sold (they had this mortgage more than paid off), my dad and his 2 siblings all received a pretty large inheritance. My parents are actually going to buy the place with a cash offer up to X amount. I will then just pay the HOA, taxes, utilities, etc. So the interest rates currently won't affect my expenses.

brother ... strike while the iron is hot then. Sorry about your grandparents.

You should have a pretty non-competitive market, low demand bc of int rates.

I know nothing about real estate or markets, but I casually track houses in MD and the prices are dropping and I think they are going to drop some more.

I looked at 6-7 homes on zillow yesterday .. every one had a prince drop in past few months.

My lease at my apartment isn't up until 5/31/2022. I really liked that condo that I offered on. But unless something really sticks out, probably won't be putting another offer in until after the holidays. Hopefully the prices can trickle down a little further by then.

Could be alot of reasons why it was pulled. Keep an eye on it you might see it back on the market in a few months.

Under contract for a place. Closing is on the 31st.

Gonna be weird as fuck living by myself for the 1st time.

Anyone that wants to come to Charleston, feel free to reach out. I'll have a guest bedroom (free of charge for any regular here). It would be cool to meet some fellow commanders posters.

Thanks!! I'm pumped, scared, happy, nervous, all at the same time.

The Charleston area is pretty sweet, especially if you haven't been here before. And I've always thought it would be cool to meet some of you guys/gals. So maybe it will be a good bribe. But likely, I'll go on never actually knowing any of y'all.

i lived in Bluffton for awhile just outside of Hilton Head, great place to live; Low Country

We go to Charleston quit a bit for fun, great little city

I will say living down there i felt removed from the country, there is really no major city, that can be good and bad. Wanting to see a major sporting event you are in for a drive. There is was no spur of the moment hey lets catch a Q's game tonight moments.

Regardless great place to live.

I went down to the Hilton Head area this year, including Bluffton, just to check it out. I really liked Bluffton. I could totally live there. That's my 2nd favorite city in South Carolina (that I've been too). I still need to go check out the Rock Hill area at some point.

If you are looking to get into a good hobby and enjoy spending time outdoors…the inshore fishing down there is really good. You don’t have to go to deep salt water or even the bay to get good fishing. Flounder, redfish and speckled sea trout can be fished from the shore, grassy flats.
