Hi Fishes,
Anyone here at Luxoft with permanent remote ? I got an offer. Will they ask to come to office at any point ? What about job security at Luxoft ? HR mentioned 8 hours per day and no need to enter timesheet, time will be auto captured. That means like we can't be away from the system at all ? Please help.
Thanks

Wait until June 11. Around 2 pm. And you’ll be in good shape!
Exactly, I don’t know s/he’s from D. That’s why I didn’t say anything about her/him being from D.

I can’t tell if this post is sarcasm or not
It’s very hard and maybe even impossible to predict the future with absolute accuracy and assurance. If you feel comfortable buying, then buy. You can’t time the market.
It will go down in exactly 183 days. Trust me on this!
I would say anywhere between 69 and 420 days
You are the goat!
Absolute accuracy and assurance are not part of Seattle real estate
A shaman would be able to tell you.
Just run a business case, as usual. Owning for the sake of owning is not rational.

Buy a house you can afford and can grow onto over time and don’t overpay for it. That way you can weather and swings in the market. If you think you are going to only hold for a few years then you might be better off renting

When the pandemic is over there will be the great migration back to the city. I’m gonna snap up all your houses. Om nom nom
Yes, I just got out of the hot tub time machine. I can tell you with exact certainty on October 5th the prices will crash. Also, the Knicks will win the NBA title.
😔 so hard being a Knicks fan
I love the responses here!
Buy a 4 pled, stay in one of them, rent the other 3. Cash flow will pay your mortgage and you will build equity. Look at Redfin. Seattle is an expensive market. Good luck

OP, when we were looking for a house there in 2015 people were saying not to buy because the prices were too high and we were approaching another bubble.
When I sold my residence there in 2017 I had multiple over-asking offers, some waiving inspection, some all-cash. All within 3 days of listing. Everyone was saying this is a bubble for sure!
My friends moved there in 2019, struggled greatly to find a home they could afford but finally found one in the exurbs and they had buyers remorse for several months having felt they paid too much.
In all the scenarios above, all the homes I was looking at in 2015, the one I sold in 2017, the ones my friends bought in the exurbs in 2019, are all now worth $100-300k more than they were back in all the alleged “bubbles.” People have been screaming bubble since at least 2014.
OP, the point is, if you have the money now, buy now. You need a place to live and you need to build equity in something. Whether that be a condo, a townhome in the exurbs, whatever, just get something now that allows you to build equity. Let that “roof over your head” do double duty by providing both shelter AND equity. Renting won’t do this for you. Stay in it a couple years -this will allow you to come with a serious offer for the type of home you really want in the location you really want because you’ll not only have a couple more years of saving but you’ll also have equity.
Don’t time it OP. It won’t work. Simply buy what you can, as soon as you can. Best of luck!
That doesn’t make those people wrong. The current housing market is obviously a bubble. Bitcoin is a bubble. The current market cap of electric car companies is a bubble. All those things are going to return to reality eventually.
But irrational markets can remain irrational for a long time, and people can absolutely make money with lucky timing.
The right point to emphasize is the last one you make: OP needs a place to live. I bought my first place at the top of the first bubble, because I was newly married and a baby and we needed more space. I was underwater in it for a decade. So what? We raised a family there and made great memories there, and we were happy to pay what we paid to live there. If I’d put the money in the S&P back then I’d have more, but we would have been homeless. That’s certainly not better. You spend money to live, OP — if you can afford the house you want just buy it and worry about the market value in 30 years.
lol no one has a crystal ball and anyone who claims they know is full of it. That goes for all investment advice
