Me and my wife had thrown around the idea of moving down to the swansboro area. We decided against it for several reasons but one was the market right now. Houses are rarely staying on the market for more that a day and offers coming in right away. One house hit the market Thursday that needed all rooms painted. It was estimated at 181k and sold at 219k in just 4 hours. We had a realtor assess our house and he never listed it but already had an offer for 25k above estimated price.
We are still thinking of moving but is it worth it to buy in such a crazy sellers market? I could easily see us overpaying for a house that loses value if the housing market crashes.
Any suggestions/advice.
The biggest factor in not making the move is me being able to find an equally high paying job. Looking for available jobs down there and I wasnt able to get $4 of what I make now. Cant move and take on a higher mortgage if I am taking a pay cut......that's just not a smart move.
