Are you a realtor?! That is solid advice. We’ve been in the house for a few/couple years and as you know the market has been high stress for buyers. If you don’t make an offer within hours of viewing then you lose out. In a perfect world we would have had more time to do more research but we made our bed so now we have to lie in it awake because of the noise lol. Based on everyone’s feedback here I don’t think we have any legal options. Just gonna hope it doesn’t get worse and start house hunting

Ha! Not a realtor, but definitely found myself quickly fed up with dealing with them while purchasing my first property (on my 4th). I rarely work with a buyers agent, make sure I have a solid attorney, and represent myself.

At least your next purchase might go more smoothly and the market is shifting in your favor. Live and learn! Good luck with everything-- sincerely!

The upside of this is that you will probably be able to unload the place without taking a big loss because there’s so much demand. But then you’ll be right back in the same boat, looking for a new place for yourself. That’s why I haven’t sold the house I bought in 2019 for a big profit

We bought the house before COVID so we will easily make a profit. Only problem is all that profit will have to go towards a down payment for a comparable home to keep the mortgage around the same
