Anecdotal: I sold my house last September, the agent said she's seeing mostly people moving out of apartments with kids to get more room having to be stuck at home all day with them in lockdown. It also was under contract in two days, closed easy peasy.

In my North NJ area, I feel this is the case for many moving out of NYC or heavy urban areas into the suburbs. While some may have had their savings ready to buy and covid was the catalyst to get out, usually people live in an apartment for a reason - not enough funds followed by proximity to work.

Only 10%? Sounds like a deal!

It really depends on what state of unfinished he is willing to live in.

Are you WFH now? Clearly not commuting - and will you ever have to commute to the city again? |

I cant wait. I wanted and convinced my wife, now ex wife, to keep the house in the divorce because the market is absolutely insane and I had doubts that she could even find anything anytime soon if she did decide to sell instead of keeping the house. She has no plans to move, to my knowledge, so it wont affect her either way, but Ill be ready to buy in a year or two. |

safety issues are exhaust flue for the furnace is not correctly routed, the railing on the stairway is not long enough, and the bannister is very loose. the water heater is 14 years old, but other than that, water pipes were all updated to copper, electrical was all updated to current standards (no nob and tube). there is minimal exterior wood rot issues on the facade. hydrostatic test is tomorrow. we'll ask for the safety issues to be repaired, or for them to give us money to repair, and we'll ask for money to replace the water heater. barring any weirdness with the hydrostatic tomorrow (which I don't expect), I'll be buying a new home at the end of the month! |

Awesome.
I like a thorough inspection that finds a lot of little things but nothing big, it typically means the inspection was probably done correctly. My wife has had people ask for the smallest ticky tack thing that came up on inspection, I just shake my head. |

thanks, I guess I gotta move over to the threadpocalypse to document the fixes to the current home before I sell it on.
I did a quick search on zillow for homes in my area with 3br and 1bath, average price seems to be about 275. did another search for homes in my area with a 3br and 2bath, price jumps about 30k, minimum. it's got crawl space under the home, and the kitchen is next to where I would put it, so it should be minimal cost to tie in with the existing plumbing. |

Crawlspace is always good. I've never been a fan of slab construction.

How about a 1940s house with a slick mint chip green color in the kitchen?

We are WFH right now and will have to go into the city on occasion. In those cases, it's a direct train ride in (~1hr) or we can drive in. Not ideal, but the upgrade will hopefully be worth it. |
