The tough thing is we just sold our house and now only have 6 weeks to find our new home. Lots of pressure. My mother in law keeps sending mls listings of houses out of our price range. she thinks we can go in a low ball the price. i dont know if we can low ball someone 50 grand . Thanks for everyones feedback. Go Flames Go!!!!!

Don't rush into buying a house just because of your deadline. If you need to move your stuff into a POD and rent a place for a month or 2 with minimal furnishings to get by in order to find a good deal/ideal house then this is the time to do it.

You might be able to low ball someone even more through welist.com in the area you want if you find a house you like, it's is definitely a "buyers market" as many have said in other threads.

Get a realtor. Buyers don't pay commission.

WeList is dying a slow death. The selection is too slim to be worthwhile. Plus sellers may not have a clue how little their place is worth these days. Not worth the hassle, IMO.

He is a lawyer after all. Damn lawyers.

We bought a year old Excel house in Evergreen, and it has been fine for us. And the neighborhood is really good.
