Great that you had an easy ride with this, seriously. I always have trouble making decisions. I feel that a decent amount of steady support is key.

You've locked it in sight unseen? Have you had a home inspection done beforehand? Do you have a local attorney representing you in the transaction? Real Estate Agents and Title Clerks are not legal representatives.

They are all moving to states with a much lower cost of living. I have thought about it but I want to stay on the West Coast and nothing is cheap so I am staying put.
@DiAnne Interesting to hear this. I have friends who live in middle Tennessee. They're suddenly getting an influx of folks from the PNW. I didn't understand why but your post helps clarify the situation.

We saved a fortune not buying a house that apparently could slide down the hill in the backyard.
@suzyQ3 we have a few houses in our neighborhood that are doing that. The flippers come in, put a bandaid on the structural issues, make the inside absolutely beautiful and sell it for twice what they paid for it before the issues start all over again.
I do feel sorry for unsuspecting buyers, even with inspections they are being sold for big money.

Wow, I would NEVER buy a house sight unseen. Never. We bought a boat in Wisconsin, we live in Michigan. Found it online and made the trip, around Lake Michigan, to look at it then took another trip around the lake to actually buy it and bring it home. I see car commercials about buying a car online and having it delivered right to your door. I always ask "who buys a car without seeing it?"

Years ago, I was a realtor in southern Calif. One of my co-workers listed a house in Westlake Village, CA - upscale area - and she told me that the engineering inspector said the house is sliding. She gave up the listing. Many realtors sell BAD houses - they care more about their commission. Also, what bothers one person, may not bother another. A very important factor when purchasing a home - is how it faces - which rooms get the sun in the morning - and afternoon.
The back of my house faces south - I get sun all afternoon in most of my rooms. The people who purchased homes across the street - are always COLD.
