that's the reality of the market, especially on a property that is unique.

guy wouldn't even counter offer us, just wrote back and said thanks for looking

Welp, it's the eve of the Sweet 16, and the fans of the usual suspects are eager to see their teams play. The bluebloods who are seemingly in the Sweet 16 every year, the Carolina's and the UConn's, the (begrudgingly have to admit it) Duke's, the Kentucky's, the Gonzaga's. Oh wait, did I say Kentucky? Kentucky ain't in the Sweet 16 this year, they haven't been in the Sweet 16 since 2019, 5 long years and counting! Time to give Cal a raise!! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHASSLEHASSLEWAHAHAHAHAHAAHAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!

so wifey and I went on the Smoky Mountain Train today.

I've learned two things - 1. I woke up constipated, couldn't do my thing and took a handful of Metamucil gummies before I got on the train. That wasn't a good idea. I just sat there stone faced for about 90 minutes trying not to shit my pants. We stopped at the Nanthala (no idea if that is the right way to spell it) Outdoor Center and hoofed is about 1/4 mile to the bathroom dodging little kids in the middle of an easter egg hunt

secondly, while everyone on the train in our car was good people, I realized I don't like people and if I take a long train trip in the future, I am going to have to spring for a sleeper car, because I can't deal with a woman older than me talking about how she didn't know they spoke French in Montreal, another guy saying that he makes wine as a hobby but can't get enough sugar in it to where he likes it, and two lesbians who didn't say annoying shit but they got hammered on blackberry moonshine and kept singing to all the country banjo stuff they were playing in the background.

I'm not sure I'm a good reference for the train ride or not. It could have been enjoyable, but I can assure you, if you have half a turd hanging out your ass, it will not be

Love Bryson City though

I sit around listening to all the locals who know each other and have lived here all their lives, I"m certain without ever regretting it, an I am jealous of them

I've never been excited about any placed I lived, its always been for economic reasons, not wanting to call it home

You should check out Sylva. About 20 minutes southeast of Bryson City. Another cool town. Although Bryson City has you close to Fontana Lake, which is nice

"I just sat there stone faced for about 90 minutes trying not to shit my pants."

Wish there was a picture of that...

people on motorcycles might enjoy driving 129, or 28, or 72 but in a car it sucks.

ended up having to drive 19 miles both ways going in and leaving.

this did not go like I thought it would

The birds just sat there watching...

unfortunately someone came in with a cash offer and bid over asking price.

oh well

back to looking

The infamous.... "investors"

With so many cash offers made on property nowadays, can't really have much of a bubble. I mean, how would the market price "crash" on real estate if people don't have any debt on it? If you can't get what you pay for it BUT you own it outright, why sell it? Just hold it. You have no reason to sell. Just hold and wait. And holding means LESS real estate available to buy.

Lots of cash offers on real estate = housing shortage.
Less property to buy = price increases

Raw capitalism

They know they can fly away from a ground lizard with 5 inch legs.

Exactly how I feel trying to figure you retards out.
