No one has seen the likes of it since the good old days, multiple offers, bidding wars, houses on the market for days. I just got to tell my first buyers in years to go stuff it after they found some things they didn't like in a home inspection...because I'm going to re list it and get another $5k.

Their is no inventory, I'm working like a madman to bring lots threw the pipe and onto the market. I'm closing on a beach tear down Thursday, listing it Friday, and I bet its under contract in under 45 days. I know of three others I passed on...might go back and offer them more...

This is strange since it was pretty quite/business as usual all threw the winter.

I think we're lagging behind you a little bit in central CT, but not by a lot. Starter to mid-size ($180-250K) homes don't last long, the $400K+ market hasn't quite swung around here. My father's lady friend's house, a nice little updated ranch on 7500 sq.ft., was on the market for two days before she had two offers on the table. Those prospects are now in a bidding war against each other.

There seems to be a lot of site prep to build all over town, in different class neighborhoods, without much building activity. I'd imagine they got the land at a good price and are just waiting until things "feel" better to start building. We do a lot of builder's special-type seed (read cheap) when there's a lot of new construction. I guess we'll see over the next couple months how things are going.

You post around here too, and do not list where in the post or your description where you are from so that could be Somalia as far as that goes.

I want to pull a Justin and buy a new boat instead of a car every 5 minutes...I want a Tiara 36 with Volvo/Cummins diesels, and I want to name her "Subdivide".

Can't afford my dream Hatteras yet!

Considering the price of gas and our prices I'm sure you could find it cheaper, closer. Not that I wouldn't make you a deal and enjoy the visit, though. And you won't find better.

Time it right and we can get try to get Fulcrum and cmb and grab lunch.

Never give up on that dream, C! A buddy of mine has a gasser 31' Tiara that we used to fish a lot in our pre-kids days. Sweet boat. I've still got visions of a 42' Post running through my head even as I bomb around the lake in a 60's aluminum w/15 hp outboard or my POS SeaRay.
