It went for all cash at substantially ABOVE asking with multiple backup offers ABOVE that offer. So the final price is going to be somewhere around 2.6 to 2.7. The property needs a good $250k to finish up (deck out the backyard, fix the interior).
I've missed out on the short term bottom here in NC. I was close on a few properties, but no cigar. Now, things in that area are starting to move and the selling prices are inching up. This sucks for someone like me who is a strong buyer and has been waiting patiently (sold in late 2005, renting ever since)-- people with 100% cash (stronger buyers) who are impatient are jumping in.
I could have moved more aggressively to try and secure the last home I was going after but the deal involved what I considered to be mortgage fraud. The new rule is: honesty loses.
I hope that at some point, banks have to unleash all the shadow inventory that they have and I get a true market deal. :S</blockquote>
Meh...give it time.
