Bought a house today, had to go $10k over asking to get it but still came in $65k under our budget. Overall pretty happy, already has AC, new roof, new water heater, newer furnace, newer heated garage, tons of parking and best of all basically my top pick for location. The home definitely went cheaper than I expected based on how many viewings there were on day 1.

Honestly I thought the high bid was going to be $30-35k over what we bid. Overall I’m just happy we stayed way under our max budget.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
Was it a 400-500k house? 800-900k? Maybe you arent comfortable sharing but always interesting to know and a good datapoint... I know a friend who got under listing on an 850k house, and i know 450k listings that went for 600k. So i'd hazard a guess you were at least above 700k

I didn't realize how not best their "best" rates were until I decided to play a few of them against each other. Went from P-1.04% to P-1.07 to P-1.15 to P-1.20% with each rate being "the best we can do".
Were those all major institutions or brokers as well?

We got a zero down mortgage in 2002, no ragrets.
Though I thought our mortgage rules changed a decade or so ago to prevent this?

I can’t believe the amount of hoops we had to jump through this time to get a mortgage, maybe a good thing for weeding people out I suppose.
