    Default Bidding war on houses

    Man, the market really turned around this year. Two houses were listed on our block on Friday. One for $600,000 and one for $615,000. Both had several bids over the weekend. Bids accepted on Sunday were .$24,000 over the asking price.

    I guess we are becoming California.

    I'd be happy to sell our place in NoCo for a fair value, no bidding war, no realtor .

    This is my wife and I's plan. We've been working towards it for a while now.

    I have been enjoying the meteoric rise of my home values.

    It's ridiculous, but we intend to capitalize on it.

    I’d sell mine if it weren’t for having to buy someplace else right now.

    Haven’t had it officially appraised in a while but figure only owing about $140K on it means I likely have a little equity in it right now.

    We’ve been tempted to just place on market and move to Oklahoma. But I’m not that much of a risk taker and want a job offer first. Won’t be applying for any until I finish the degree.

    My next door neighbor put is putting theirs on the market soon. Will be interesting to see what they bring in.

    Obviously it's a seller's market. I started looking last August and nothing stays on the market long recently. I can't compete with the investors or cash offers.
    Found an ideal one for me in Pueblo recently,had my realtor set up a appointment to see it and it was under contract the next day.
