Good homes in our area keep going for bout 550k plus additional enticements (like paid all cash or waived appraisals) when they're listed at $510k. There's a way overpriced house on market at $560k that I think is worth $500k since it needs $20k out of pocket (it has no interest Bc overpriced, has been on market months) . Does anyone have experience putting in an offer way below listing or advice?

It's a seller's market on your location. The seller has no reason to except an offer that is less than the other 10 credible ones they have on the table. Many with extra incentive as you mentioned.

Bid what you think is reasonable or what you are willing to pay. But be prepared to be outbid. Volume helps, in that you may ultimately end up with a lucky swing on something.

And keep in mind that lower interest rates means that people can afford and get approved for higher loan amounts.

Just offfer what you think it’s worth and what you’re willing to pay . Keep in mind it may get rejected

Time on the market is telling the owners it’s overpriced since things that are going quick that people desire. You can either wait for the price to drop and put an offer in so that you can get it at a price you want, or put the offer in now and see what happens.

Look for foreclosures or homes you can build equity and fix up.

Sellers can list whatever price they want. But generally if you’re below 90% of ask I think it’s a tough starting point. Sounds like your area is a sellers market, so chances of winning once starting at 90% of ask would be very low.

Don’t waste your time here. Give a call to the seller’s agent. She will give you an idea about what’s acceptable

I started at a new firm this year in January. I had a billable goal that was given to me mid year of around 1750 house for the year. I am nowhere near that and definitely will not meet the goal. I had so many non billable hours I was forced to take when I first came in. I worked my ass off in busy season. At my previous firm I never fell short of hours as it was B4. This firm is mid sized and more focused on WLB. My question is how bad do you think this will affect my comp??

Per what I'm reading the interest rate is 9.62% if I buy through Oct 2022. It's a 30 year investment, but I can withdraw after 5 years without 3 month penalty.

Questions:
(1) Is the interest rate fixed or variable over the term of the bond?
(2) Assuming 9.62% is annual return but definitely want to confirm 🤣
(3) Do most people actually keep it in 30 years? I'm looking at 5 years for now and re-assess
