Sneak peek at the new house via my new Stihl battery mower. The Tesla (minus the quality issues) of mowers.

Thanks. Big plans for it inside and out. Should be 7 figures (rest of the neighborhood is $800-$1.XX) when we?re done. Although we?re not planning on selling this one until the kids are done with school.

When I had a driveway extension done at my parents house, concrete vs blacktop had a huge price difference.
For a 8 foot wide by 70 feet long driveway tacked onto the side of the house Blacktop: $2500-$3000 Concrete: $5400, this was the cheapest guy with quality work who ended up doing it. I had quotes all over the place, I think $11,000 was the highest. My whole neighborhood has concrete and I didn't wanna be THAT guy with the piece of shit cars AND the blacktop driveway. Also, Dolph that glossy wood siding looks amazing. Do you know what it's called? |

Got quotes to have my blacktop driveway redone. $16,000. Concrete would probably $25-$30.
Also fucking pool companies are so swamped here they are aren’t even trying to get new work. 2 quotes so far, one lady came out and was interested and she quotes $80k. Next guy came out and took 1 look and said $100k. We aren’t doing a pool anytime soon.

Just bought a 2360 SQ FT log home on 2.5 acres with a shop and a pond for 240K. Interest rate on this home was almost a full point lower than our last, which we bought 5 years ago and made $40K when it sold. So glad to be out of the "city"; two assassinations on our block in the short time we lived there, and three separate occasions of people losing control of their vehicles and smashing into the neighbor's house. Plus now I can mow without old ladies pulling up a chair on their porches to watch me...
Shit pic but it's all I have for the moment. P.S. we sold my wife's 2017 Fuckus to a private seller, for $1200 over dealer trade-in. Got her a 2012 RAV4- last year of the V6. Pretty sure it's faster than my modified Forester XT. |

We escape out to the Appalachians at least once a year and noticed how cheap land out there is.

I live down a little east of the foothills, which gives me perfect balance. I can be at the beach in three hours and in the mountains in two, then return home to civilization.

Man, did I end up underestimating this. Wife and I woke up one morning about a month ago and said lets build a new house. Called up my friend to list it, another to toss on a fresh coat of paint inside and it went live a week later. $375K cash, 20 over asking, under contract in 11hrs with a 2 week close. Shit is absolutely ridiculous right now. I don't know how much more this market is going to peak because we're hitting an affordability cap on new homes for like 75% of the people living here so we cashed in now. I think at the date of listing, there were 278? homes for sale in a county with almost 800k people living in it.

Yeah man, it?s crazy out there. Just for reference/LOLZ for later
We are looking right at the outer limits of a major city and getting into the suburbs -made an offer for 25k over asking on a house, lost it to someone who paid 40 over asking with them waiving a home inspection. -another house we saw was not even worth whatever the asking price was (atleast 30 year old bathrooms and kitchen, needed renovation for most of the house) that went for 30 over asking. My realtor personally has handled a client who paid 60 over in a shitty part of town. So yeah, go right ahead people. I can wait till things calm down, no money burning a hole in my pocket.

well, I always knew this house was going to be a minor investment and make a decent profit; I just didn't think we were going to make a move like this for another year or 2.
We could of held on to it as rental income, we already were approved for financing with that house still on the books. I just have no interest in being a land lord and its too big IMO to make a comfortable monthly profit. I'm sure things will calm down but material costs keep jumping up is our problem. build costs in the new development have jumped 100k over last year and up 10k already since we met with the builder in January.

We moved everything and got new jobs in and around our new town. The commute is a little more distance wise but with zero traffic. Cost of living is 1/3 what it was in the city and our household income has even gone up by 10% so we are really enjoying the new lifestyle.

Moved in a month or so ago. Finally got a everything unpacked and somewhat and set up. Now its time to start on the detached garage.
Its going to need insulation and "finishing" . Ive started replacing the old florecent tubes with Barrina LED Tubes. Unfortunately the trusses in the top arnt quite high enough for a full size lift. I am thinking of going down the maxjax route early this summer. -Jordie
