Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Same thing different taste

Today, I bought a home at a bargain. It will need 5 grand in repairs to fix plumbing and electric, but it's mine. When I pulled up the listing to show pictures to my friends, there was a new listing that was in the same neighborhood, and a larger, nicer house that is move in ready. Same price. FML

Today, after saving for years, I was finally ready to buy a home. I found a decent place. I put in an offer. A hedge fund bought it 7 minutes later, for cash. FML

Today, I found out that the piece of vacant land I purchased for $20,000 is illegal to build a house on, due to acreage restrictions. Thank you, realtor. FML

Today, I found out that my mother-in-law is house hunting in my town. There is a house for sale two doors down from me. In her price range. FML

Today, I visited my vacation cabin. I've been planning to sell it, and it was in perfect condition when I last visited about 6 months ago. I walked in the door to find the floor covered in muddy pawprints and bloody remainders of meals. It appears some bears moved in during my absence. FML

Today, I found out that my parents used all of the college money I have been saving up for 8 years to buy a beach house. The reason they waited until now to tell me? A tree fell on it, and they need more money for repairs. FML

Today, I submitted an offer on a house. I got a call a few minutes later saying that it had collapsed. FML

This can't be legal, surely?
Today, my landlord sold the apartment I’ve been renting for 10 years without telling me. I found this out when the new owners showed up at the door with boxes. FML

Strange system
Today, I was expecting a big sum of money for skipping last year's vacation while working as a freelancer, as I've done the last four years. Turns out I won't get the money, as last month I accepted a full time employment, and now that money has been turned into vacation days instead. Guess I won't buy a new home yet… FML

Today, my husband and I were finally about to put our house on market because we have killed our savings on moving and two mortgages for the past couple of months. Then the pipes burst. Awesome. FML

Just because they’re asking $149K doesn’t mean they’ll GET $149K.

And? This has zero effect on your life. Maybe they made improvements that raised the value. maybe they're asking high expecting for people to try to negotiate a lower price. Who cares? move on.

The points you made are solid, but your delivery needs some work. Try to end on the positive and I'm sure that'll help.

There is nothing wrong with my delivery. I don't sugar coat things. The fact that the house selling for more than what o.p. sold it for has zero effect on their life. They could have asked for more money than they did. It's water under the bridge and the o.p. is letting something that's out of his/her control and has no bearing on their life upset them. They do in fact need to let it go and move on.

This is how Jeremy Renner is so stinking rich despite doing movies like Tag.

So they probably did some improvements. Do you not understand how real estate works?
