>>533758776That's the standard European response, not a boomer thing.Problem -> violent government restrictions + gibs
>>533758776My boomer mother has been alone for 15 years. Lives in the house she grew up in, got after my grandma died. It's an old house but in a nice spot. I've been telling her for a decade she should sell while it's hot. It's too much house. Too much land, it's old and needs repairs.She started dating an old friend of hers after his wife died and now tells me she wants to sell her place. I tell her she missed the boat. In central florida so she could've gotten waaaaaay above reason for that house 4 years ago. >Comparable houses go for $600-$700k>She listed it for $950k>I swear on my life this is a true story
>>533759027If you were a real son you could buy her house for $1M
>>533759027So you are waiting for her to die to get the house?How considerate of you.
>>533758776Read the article Shlomo She wants to give the money she makes on the sale to her kids. She's holding out for a top price as she lives near London were a fucking broom cupboard sells for half a million.
>>533759258I literally pointed that out, and she doesn't live near London
>>533759091Pass>>533759208Unlike you and the other faggots on this board, I have my own life, career, family, house, etc.I just wanted her to get the most money for the house and not be reliant on me in her old age.
>>533759306She does live in commutable distance from London You are making are out like her reason is money for herself in fact its her kids she is trying to help
>>533759494>I am right and the market is wrongHer neighbor told her it was worth $850k and she can't even sell it for 700
>>533759494"Commutable distance" from London can mean anything. There are people who commute in from halfway towards Margate.
>>533759494Also, it's fucking obvious but you seem a little slow so I'll be kind, she could just give her relatives the house and live in it, solving all her and her reatives' problems.
>>533759558If the wages are high enough they will commute from Edinburgh and fly into work.Anywhere in SE England is in the London commuter belt.
>>533759558No, it's right next to London and the fact she can't sell it for $850k is due to some kind of conspiracy
>>533759600That makes no sense. She wants the money for them, living in the house till she dies - 20 years or more maybe - is not going to help them right now.
>>533759629Indeed. So your point is moot. She's just one among many retards who think they know better than the market, and she doesn't. Protip if you're going to buy a house - go on YouTube look up housing inspection videos. Learn every possible thing you could criticize the house and when you do viewings pick the house apart in front of the agent and if possible in front of the owner. Rip it to shit and low-ball them. They don't know anything.
>>533759683IT WILL IF THEY CAN LIVE THERE INSTEAD OF RENTING
>>533759091if you were really an American you would be a nigger
>>533758776If no one is willing to buy it at the price you're selling, then it's not worth that price period. I can't stand the housing market because of nonsense like this.
>>533758776You made thsi thread yesterday. Nigger
>>533759875No I didn't. I only heard of this story a few minutes ago
>>533759558How is that an advantage now that AI automates 3/4 of the London jobs?
>>533760430Wow I can't believe blockchain has taken 6/5ths of London jobs!
>>533758776too many peoplebillions must die
>>533761799...Generational brainwashing to pacify the masses in order to continue pillaging via corporate greed. Quit spreading psychopathic ideals.
