Since retirement a little over a year ago we've been looking to relocate. We originally wanted the driftless area in southwest WI. Then we moved our search over to the Iowa side because the cost of living is lower and the wife was originally from Iowa. Covid really fucked things up in our search. At first no one wanted to list anything, then once they did they went sometime within hours. We looked at a few but nothing really tripped our trigger. Late yesterday a home that had everything we are looking for hit the market. A quick call to the realtor and they already had 6 scheduled showings. I talked to the realtor not long ago and there is one offer and another possible and the owner is accepting offers till 5 tomorrow. We are looking at it tomorrow at 1. The wife already has an letter to the owner hoping that this help sway the decision if it comes to a bidding war. Depending on what happens we may spend the night since its about a 5 hour drive for us. Wish me luck.

Offer way more than listing. If it’s anything like around here (Madison) it will be crazy.

Good luck. The house across the street went up for sale Tuesday. They had over 20 showings on Tuesday with 10 offers. They accepted cash offer Tuesday night for 30 thousand over asking price. It is a seller's market.

I hope you can get what you want man. If you end up on the Iowa side, I will send you a large South Dakota flag to fly in your front yard, so people get fair warning that you're not to be F'd with.

I don’t like the idea a guy needs to offer over the asking price. That’s just wrong in my book. Hope it works out for you mike but remember what my banker friend told me long ago. When everyone is walking it’s time to run, and when everyone is running it’s time to walk. Don’t follow the sheep.

I agree I'll give asking price, maybe just maybe a little more if we really like it. |

Good luck Mike. It might be a good time to evaluate some other places in the area and talk to a realtor in case things don’t work out.
