Nice house and a sweet deal.

Saw an interview this morning on RE recovering in some areas, but it was all in the lower price ranges. $1M plus range is still real week and expected to stay that way for a while.

I wish I could find something like that, but we didn't participate in the housing bubble here and the economy is still doing alright. It's a little weak in the high end houses, and I'm starting to keep track of the sales in the upper range in hopes of some further weakness. Thanks for sharing the story, I see now that I will have to be ready to move very quickly if I want to do something similar.

Congrats!

It sure feels good to buy something at half the price that the previous guy paid.

I tried to think of the same thing about my stocks. So many good stocks, I feel like getting more on margin (I have never bought on margin). Unlike houses, there's margin call to think about.

Anyway, are you selling your current home? Keep us posted on that activity too.

Nice catch - beautiful view, interesting looking house. Sounds like highway robbery in your favor.

Enjoy it. You may never want to move out for FIRE so keep saving

Congratulations on a beautiful home with a beautiful view and for such a good deal. Makes me long for those good old days when I had the guts to do this sort of thing. I'd love to but age and my nerves won't let me. Best wishes!
