Guest getting out of here Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 I am going to sell my house in JC and moving my family to a warmer climate. We plan on leaving in Jan. 09 since I am graduating from Binghamton University in Dec of 08. When would be a good time to put it on the market if I plan to get out of here by Jan 09? Thanks.

Guest Guest Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Better act now. And don't expect too much. Regardless of what every realtor tries to sell you. The market is dead in BC. Has been for over a decade. Hope to break even. Not trying to be a cynic, just being very realistic. The realtors in BC will tell you anything you want to hear. If their lips are movin' their lyin'. I got lucky and sold, and managed to make a profit. Getting out of BC is the best thing you could ever do for yourself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously you have not tried to buy or sell recently (within the last few years). Not sure how it was now, but the market was booming in 2006, 2007. Houses were selling within the first week on the market well above asking price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Watch out for those Southern Hurricanes & Tornadoes!! Ooooh good one! Get original for once. Enjoy more money, more prosperity, more good weather, more real estate apprecation, more jobs, etc... All the naysayers here will tell you how awful it is to leave there and wish you good riddance. Yet look at every other post on this board about how much they all hate BC. Join the tens of thousands of us that left and have yourself a Real Life. The rest are all just jealous that you're leaving and might actually amount to something. That scares the DELETED out of them back there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I sold mine in 06' Get a clue, you sound like a realtor. Wait a minute! I bet you are one! Warning everyone, theres a rose colored glasses wearing realtor on the board. The only houses that sold fast were rental properties. And no one local bought them. Nor did locals move into them. Haven't you read all the posts about the NYC people moving in? Nah...you wear rose colored glasses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2pelo Honey Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Many people like to move in the summer, to have their kids ready to go a new school. I know when I started to look for a house in Nov several years ago, my Realtor told me houses are often taken off the market, or put on hold for the holiday's, because people don't want to have to deal w/ viewings, etc, at that time. If you had to sell this Spring or Summer, would you be willing and/or able to, then rent till you left, perhaps putting some stuff in storage? That's something to mull over.

Haven't you read all the posts about the NYC people moving in? Nah...you wear rose colored glasses. Not a realtor...not even close. I am just someone who bought a house in that time period, and had several houses that I was interested in sell before I could get an offer in. I don't wear rose colored glasses, I just don't see the need to live with a cynical, yet often inaccurate attitude. I choose to be happy in life and view my glass as being half full, not half empty.

Is the truth about your area really that nasty? Yes I guess it is. Don't even try to defend BC or NYS for that matter. The place is a hellhole and you all know it. Oh and I'm just relaxing in my 300k home that appreciated 50k last year, and has yet to tumble. And I'm enjoying my $1500.00/yr property tax bill. Down $3500.00 from my 100k home in Emptycott that I sold. I'm also loving the recession proof economy I live in. Do you people even know what an economy is up there? Will my property decrease in value? Only if the economic situation gets really really bad. Your homes don't even appreciate, so you have nothing to talk about. And if mine does, it will be a blip on the radar. Say what you will about leaving NY. But there are thousands of us out of there that wouldn't ever dream of going back to that place. And the few that do go back, are fools and belong there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2pelo Honey Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 I could care less that you moved, or why. I asked why you feel the need to lash out at people on a Broome County forum if you're living such a great life elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miss Kitty Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 Call me crazy, if you will, but I would rather have snow in March than the "air advisories" we get here in VA from mid June until August. The air in the DC area during that time of year, is not only overly hot and humid, but it's full of carbon monoxide fumes from all the traffic. By August everything outside is dead and brown. People can't go outside for more than 10 minutes without getting sick and God help you if you don't have AC in your car or home. I'll be glad when my job down here is finished. I can tell you, the grass IS NOT greener down here. In fact, during the summer months, it's quite brown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Binghamton is the third or fourth worst housing markets to all of America.

Are you honestly comparing Binghamton's housing markets to larger cities? Of course a home here will not cost the same as one in NYC, nor should it! That link isn't even relevent to how fast homes are selling around here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CNN compared Binghamton's housing prices to EVERYWHERE in the entire United States (and ironically enough they didn't include NYC). Elmira is actually the worst and we are third or fourth. The comparison used EVERY state in the country using a geographical sample from each. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they are not appreciating and taxes are rising then its a sure loss! There is nothing in our economic future that is going to change anything soon either.

Guest Guest Posted March 19, 2008 Report Share Posted March 19, 2008 I will start off by throwing my white flag up, I am a realtor, but I come in peace!! If you are worried about the house not selling in time... you can put it on the market now with a contingency that will allow a buyer to put an offer on the house and purchase it, but it will not officially close until January. This will also allow for you to have your house on the market for a longer time period, if it doesn't sell you can gradually reduce the price; this way you are not scrambling to sell it in december after a drastic price reduction. Hope I helped! Let me know if you have any other questions! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
