I dreamed of that open kitchen flowing into the living room... until I realized it meant hearing the dishwasher run ALL. THE. TIME. Anyone else rethink this trend?

Is buying fancy condos with high HOA(>$1k) worth it?

Anyone with experience in the short term rental space willing to connect?

I was in the market for a first time home in New York but the market and rates got too out of hand. Recently pivoted to a few out of state options for an STR and would love to learn from someone who's set one up.

Thanks!

Seeking some advice for home buying. Went under contract on a new construction back in March, was originally supposed to be ready in August but has been delayed until November. I’ve began getting quotes for mortgage rates through lenders and the best I’ve seen so far is 5.75% (excellent credit, dp at 10%) at a 60 day lock. Debating if I should test my luck with the market to see if rates will drop or if I should go ahead and lock my rate in before Rates increase even more

Anyone here willing to connect/talk about buying a house in Toronto. Would really appreciate it. I am just overwhelmed thinking about it and not taking any action.

My new home construction will be done by March/April 2023. As there is a little dip in mortgage rates now is it better to lock the rates now ? I am in dilemma to lock the rates now or wait for few more months as I have time till March 2023.

For anyone in this bowl. How crucial is it for you to have a formal dining room separated from the kitchen? My son and daughter-in-law are buying a house for their future family and I'm trying to convince them a formal dining room looks better and makes things less chaotic in the kitchen, especially with kids. Am I out of touch? Or is it still important?

What's the one thing for you that turns a house into a home? Or one thing that can always make a house feel homey?

Anybody here a FTB in London, UK?
If so what kind of mortgage rates are you expecting?

My partner bought a new truck earlier this month. We’re hoping to joint-purchase our first home next spring. Is there a “best” time to get pre-approved for a mortgage? When should we start the home buying process?

So far we’ve kept our head in the realtor apps to see what the market is doing.

Rent just went up, pressure is on!

Looking to buy my first house- Would it be a bit of a stretch to buy a house with a mortgage of 2.7k when I take in 3.4k bi weekly?

Would like some thoughts on a 2-br NYC condo my husband and I are considering. $250K HHI (no kids). No loans or debts, both have newish cars fully paid off.

Offer would be for $725K, with 10 percent down. 30yr mortgage @5%. We would need to include closing costs in the mortgage, to keep about $10k liquid. Monthly costs will be about $5k.

This unit is special, very rare (we’ve rented in the area for 10 yrs and know the local market well). Should we go for it?

I’m really discouraged. My after tax / after 401k contributions etc. take home pay is $6,500 monthly. I have $60,000 in savings / stocks for a down payment but even looking at a $550,000 home, my monthly payment would be about $3,400 from the calculators I’ve been using. Is that too high?

So discouraged that houses where I live are about 50% higher than what they were 2 years ago, and now interest rates are around 5.25% for my credit score. This is like a 1750 sq foot home

What’s a fair calculator to know your affordable mortgage?

One online have a wide range in what’s considered “affordable”
Pre bonus and equity I earn 110k/yr in Wash DC.
I’ve seen 33% net income, but honestly $1650/mo CANT even get a 500sqft condo on rent.
30% gross is $2750/mo 😱
Others say I can afford 600k houses but that seems irresponsible and ridiculous.
My current rent is $1750 for a small 1bd1ba (cheap) but I’m sacrificing my safety in my neighborhood. No frills apt.

Please suggest popular areas for 2BHK affordable rent in Toronto. Both my husband and I work from home and have recently moved here. Have stayed in basement accommodation for over 6months. Would like to have a slightly bigger place.
Any recommendations please. Thank you!

Buying our first home and from a friend, we are both not using realtor. How do you got about doing this, does some have a playbook I can use?

I'd like to buy, but the market is absolutely atrocious currently

What is the most difficult part of buying a home for the first time?

What are people doing in terms of stashing money away for your first house? I want to buy within the next 3 years and I'm looking for any type of budget tips, credit card recommendations, safe and solid bank loans, or whatever you did that worked. Thanks!

I went from making $70k the last 7 years to now started a new job a month ago making $130k plus $10k bonus every year, and $60k in RSUs. I have $70k in my 401k and around $50k in savings. Want to get out of the Silicon Valley which has been home my whole life and buy in TX or AZ a ~$400k house. I have about $20k in student loans which my dad has offered to pay (wants to make up for never supporting me) but I’m waiting to see what Biden decides for student loans. Is this feasible? Credit is ~615
