Hmm?

Not much.  Coffee, onto my second one.  Yogurt and fruit.  Bumped blood sugar a bit more than anticipated.  Sometimes it will, today it did.

Hoping to get to some things yet tonight.  We'll see.

A text, today, much earlier.  Wanting to talk about selling my home.  I pretty much told them that it was out of their offer range.  They have been lowballing it so terribly I just laugh, then block them.  The few places I can check value... well... price that is... suggest it has increased in value by another $40k this year?  Who knows, but that's what it is saying.

Sure, I'll sell, for $40k off that.  I am pretty sure if I brought it to market, as is, I would get bid over what is suggested.  Not much for sale, not in this range.  Sure, there is a three bedroom, three bath, new, asking $850k, down at the other end of town.  Brand new.  Mine is almost half that.  Still, with some work, say $40k in work, by that gauge, this house is... worth more.

Even so, for the price listed minus $40k?  I'd take it and go.  Won't happen though.  They are looking for chumps.  Won't offer, at least certain people, a right price.  Listed as $1,500 rental, now, too.  Ugh.  We'll see if they swing, after I told them they would fail.  You never know, if I'm... pretty sure.  

I have been considering exploring a $40k loan.  Say, new siding, cleaned floor to ceiling, perhaps new carpeting, work in one of the bathrooms, some work in the kitchen (but not all of that by far), whatever that would afford.  Then put it up.  I still think, if I did that, I could probably get another $50k to $100k over what I would otherwise be asking.  A risk, have no doubt.

The only way the profiteers would offer me what is right is if it is ready and going, probably gone, public.  Then they'll, possibly, bite.  Though... the risk is no extra, on that.  Always risk.  Though I see no one has bit at the $850k home, and it's been there for a while.  I'm calling "oops" on that one.  Built to be sold, I think.  No legs at that price, in this area?  Who knows.  But, they can't sell at a loss unless their building company or llc goes under, and financing shorts or forecloses?  And... that could happen.  Can't see a three bed/bath single story going for that here.  But... you... just... never know.

But, my word, if that is priced in for construction, the world has become more than impossible.  Builders are greedy, will take what they can.  But... if they are serious about selling, and that is their real low ball?  That's... monstrously horrendous.  Even for a SLC family, trying to escape.  That's what they were paying in the better burbs just a few years ago... not out in the sticks.

The fear, for me, is not getting out (in time).  Being stuck here, with no sale, and no potential for one.  Or no profit from the deal.  Gibberish, as I... ponder things.  Bleh.  And, now, a headache.  Later.
