        Maybe it’s just this area, but houses here are so scarce that they’re going for $50k over asking. -- nm - kelly May 5, 07:39 3
        
        From what I'm seeing, everything, everywhere, is going way above asking. You have to come with financing done, and no contigencies. -- nm - MDH May 5, 07:41 1

      - "And we'll throw in the suitcase for free. It's a Zegna." -- nm - Baron Nefcy May 5, 07:37
