Do everything you can to have town water, sewer and natural gas.

Electricity is stupid expensive...plan on putting solar in.

That is my concern. The houses I liked didn't check the boxes for town water, sewer or gas.

In my neighborhood when houses hit the market, there will be 20-30 people lined up for the first open house...if the price is reasonable, they sell in a couple weeks.

I can imagine this happening during historic low rates but are you saying even now this happens?

There are some really desirable neighborhoods where homes don't hit the market that often.

Last weekend there was a 3br/2bth ranch that hit the market. Elderly couple had both passed and the kids were dumping the house. Entire place needs to be gutted...old Formica kitchen, 70s bathrooms, etc.

Listed for $400k and there were a dozen cars outside at 9am Saturday
