I would not worry about all of the pre-2016 transfers. Those owners are no longer in the picture.

Also, when you look at it more closely, you see the 8/2000 buyer sold in 12/2001. That was during a bad economic time (dot com bubble). Or maybe that owner just moved on.

The 10/2008 buyers purchased at the beginning of the Great Recession, as it is sometimes called, and sold in 4/2009, when things were at their worst. Someone in the buyer's household lost their job and couldn't afford the house any more. Same thing happened by the house next to me.

I don't know what to make of the most recent up-and-down action. Probably someone trying to get their home noticed, and thinking a price drop would do it.

Everyone else has owned the house 4 to 7 years. That tells you this is not a forever home.

You've made an offer, and just have typical cold feet. Do your due diligence into the condition of the home (inspections, etc) and you will be fine

Will be a regional thing but that size of a house in this area is a starter house. As a starter home changes in finance and number of children often make people decide that a house is not right for their family.

Are these from the county records or just from auctions?

It would be useful to know the final sales prices of all of those ownership transfers, which should be public record.

Hey all thanks for your responses! Im sorry for the delay in my response its been a rough month.

The list of sale dates and the price changes were all from zillow. I haven't checked anywhere else yet.. Not sure where to start anyway.

I already have 3 kids so ill be here for a bit! haha It will be for myself, my 3 kids and my mother. (Middle of divorce :( ) Its a split level and Im gonna modify it a bit to give us both our space. My mom will have 600 and i will have the rest.

The sale prices are up and down so no real insight there I think.

So my offer wasn't accepted someone had offered way above asking and of course the HUD computer accepted it. I kept looking but man the prices just keep going up around here its insane.

4 days ago my realtor learned the people who bid and won never contacted again after that and ignored the requests to sign contracts so HUD cancelled the sale. I got my offer in before it hit all the sites that it ant pending anymore and after a counter offer i ended up getting it for 15k less then asking and the price around here is very good. Now it needs some work but it still should be good.

I have a home inspection sunday, and I'm also having a separate plumbing inspection done. He will pressurize the lines with air to check for leaks and also having a septic inspection done. My relator and I were under the impression it has a cesspool after he reached out to someone he knew about it but when I snuck over today ( 5 min up the road from where I am now) I learned it has a plastic septic tank. I hope that's a good sign. Septic company asked me if the access hole was accessible so I went and checked.

Wish me luck!

Good luck!

Yes, good luck!

Plumbing inspection done today and besides a few connections that need to be replaced the air held pressure so I should be good there! He also gave me a quote for a regular water heater vs tankless and a mini split heating/ac system. The boiler is horrible.

Thank you for the update!

NP! The home inspection went pretty good aswell. Closing should be 15th of next month and I can start getting things repaired. Im gonna get a few more quotes. The mini split system quote was 21k and I'm not sure if that's high or not. Local utility company will give me 8k back though.

It's always good to hear from people on these forums when things are going well ;-)

Good luck! Just a word of caution as it is not clear from your last post if you'll wait until after closing to do the repairs or before. Don't do anything where you spend your own money to repair something before you've closed on the house.

Sounds like you've got a good handle on everything!

Well im trying anyway. Now when I figure out if the quote I got for the mini spit system is good or not ill be happy.

Always get three quotes so you can evaluate the price. If they are all in line with some minor variations then you know you're in the ballpark.

Yes that's the plan, I already have 3 more companies picked out to give me the quotes.

Of course since this is a HUD home I'm running into issues. So first the lawyer didn't get the title until last tuesday. HUD requires 5 days warning to close. Ok fine filed extension and should be all set for thursday this week. Today the lawyer told me they are playing games with him, Something about paperwork saying they didn't get so he sent again and then again asked if we could set a date and they are ignoring him. So now he's thinking will be next week.

On top of that my realtor and his wife both got Covid and unfortunately she ended up dying from it within the last few days. I just found out today so im not sure what day it was.
