I assume you probably have a very well taken care of home.

But, I wonder if people waiving inspection contigencies (and Appraisals too) will harm them down the line.

It is a wild market right now. There could be 46 homes for sale, but there are currently 0 in my price range. On top of that, with Holmdel, you need to be cognizant where the house is relative to the parkway. Don't mind it being close, but don't want to be able to see it from my backyard. We are also being picky as we want to be on the Holmdel Park side of the parkway if possible. It's amazing just comparing what sold last year and in 2019. The houses you get back then compared to now is just insane.

Now if you are looking in Colts Neck, a new house or two lists everyday. Most people bought their homes at the height of the market then the housing crash in 2008 really hurt them. Home values never truly recovered there. With where prices are now, sellers are trying to take advantage and make back the money they had lost.

The suburbs around NYC have truly driven up the market. With historical low rates, people are willing to pay more. Rates are gradually increasing which will lower the demand. As the city opens back up in September, I hope to see supply increase. This will gradually turn back into a buyers market. On top of that, builders aren't building like they used to. The price of lumber is through the roof. Most people tend to stay longer in their current houses. It's an interesting market right now.

Never had one. If I want fried chicken of some sort, I've got a Popeyes five minutes away.

I don't eat much fried food, though. Once a year or so, and it's usually fish and chips.

i had a chick fil a in my college food court so ive had chik fil a many times. its good but not good enough to wait. i like popeyes better but popeyes is a different thing. popeyes is more bone in chicken whereas chik fil a is chicken breast sandwiches and little nugget things.

i also generally avoid fried foods so even though i love popeyes, i dont remember the last time i had it.
