We finally did it....
« on: November 30, 2020, 01:09:41 PM »
Just signed a contract for some land in White County.  We are one step closer to getting out of Fulton County.  Have to sell our current house and build the new one, but finding fairly flat land in the area is not easy.  Now to find a builder....can't believe the couple that I have spoken with want $150+ per square foot.

Congrats S.S. Prepper, one step forward.  Yes, Building supplies are through the roof right now.  Thor bought a single board to finish a project and was shocked at how high  lumber has gotten in the past eight months.  Some builders are raising the prices on their speck homes before completion. Maybe it will slow down next year.  Of course, you might be forced to put in a windmill, which would be costly, but you can save money on beef, do to lack of availability. Homebuilding,....so exciting....so stressful.  Here is wishing you more excitement of the good kind!

Hey neighbor!  I’ll be about half an hour up the road. I’m in the process of finding a new builder since mine is grossly overpriced and dragging his feet. I should have been almost done by now. I hope you have much better luck than me.

Shoot me a private message and let me know who the builder is so I don't make the same mistake.  Thanks!!!

Congratulations, and yes, as the mortgage banking specialist in the group, I can assure you the Yankees just keep coming and the subdivisions keep going up. 
With rates below 3% for 30 year mortgages, sales have been brisk even though listings are more scarce than usual.  Housing prices in the metro area jumped 15-20%
this year even in the COVID "recession".

We sold my mother-in-law's house for asking price within one day of listing it this fall.  An unoccupied house in great shape was in huge demand.
We had several backup contracts.  Fortunately a single mother is moving in before Christmas!

Same aces! We sold dad's house - ultimately 4k over - within 24 hours of listing in March! Originally we were offered asking price. Dad's agent said wait to accept cause he had 4 other appointments to look that afternoon. The original people bumped it 4K just beat out those other *potential* offers when they heard why we were taking a day to think on it. Needless to say we accepted.
