Little Things You Hate

Our neighbour is a textbook boomerkaren. She gets upset about reasonable things like when we have a BBQ in the backyard (doesn't like the smell), when we have people over, when we are outside and interrupting the feng shui of her basic true crime podcasts, the other neighbour's dog (it barked once), trees that drop leaves, dogs that wee on her fence (there are laminated signs) and weirdly shaped clouds (educated guess). She also really hates it when people park out the front of her house and becomes extremely passive aggressive. So we make it our life goals to park outside her house. Because we're petty and it's fun. We managed to get both our cars out the front of her place on the weekend. That was a special day.

Bravo!

Ever considered tracking down a ready for the wreckers shit heap and just plopping it there? Then forgetting about it.

Also let us know when you are ready to throw a bbq.
 
More a LTIDU than a LTIH (Little thing I don't understand)

So 15 years ago I worked in Real Estate and you went to a house and settled on an asking price lets say $679,000 (this becomes relevant soon) - People would look and offer whatever lets say $650,000 and negotiate from there.
Our neighbors are currently selling there house and it is listed at Offers Above $679,000 (see the relevance now) so in my mind that would be the bare minimum price they would accept - Nope! not how that works their first offer was $700,000 and they said we will take $710,000 but the buyer cant get to that figure - After the open house on the weekend they now have an offer om Saturday of $745,000 and their agent is telling them to sit on it until Tuesday as he is expecting more offers.

So how are you supposed to know what is in your budget if they are fielding offers almost $100,000 above asking price.

Also yeah market up here is crazy they bought for $320,000 4 years ago and have done pretty much nothing and in less than a week of listing will have sold for $750,000 ish

I mean its good news for us our house is bigger and we are thinking of selling very soon too - but yeah seems crazy to just put random price on you have no hope of buying it for

I'm currently buying and have had the same experience. Advertised price guide $550,000 to $600,000 but with no intention of accepting anything below $575,000... F.F.S. why not just list at that and be done with the stupid games.

It's a relatively new tactic that they have come up with over recent years. As you have no idea what someone else may have offered, if you really want the place you really have to go in with your best offer straight up. This often leads people to over stretch themselves trying to put in a high offer that they may not have even needed to do. It's like going to an auction and bidding on an item but not being able to hear what the other bidders are offering.

It's a blind auction. It only works in a rising market.

It depends where you are. Victoria has had legislation for a while that targets 'underquoting' so the response from the industry is to use a price range rather than a single figure...which allows much more wriggle room. I think NSW has similar legislation inbound.

When we sold our last place near Mildura in 2018, we all (us and the agent) agreed to just put $275k on it cause we needed a quick sale. Scored six offers within the first week. None were under $300k and one was $320k. We picked the one that had the least preconditions and shortest turnaround. The extra coin over our expectations covered all our costs and then some so that was handy.

But we could technically have been subject to the underquoting legislation, given the outcome. I think the out was that even the agent wasn't expecting the results!

It's completely not enforced.
 
Do I have to learn to like Sharepoint? Am I wrong for hating it and just wanting a set of folders on a driver in Explorer...? Using a browser to get into files is just so fucking annoying, and not being able to navigate around folders easily sucks.

Looks like I'm being forced onto sharepoint now, and have to migrate many hundreds of files into it...

Your department wants to feed all of your work into the AI monster and have the AI monster spread all the secrets all over the internet.
