    • That part of the country, I'd be very surprised if it didn't.
      No, I did not steal that from somebody on Something Awful.

      • There are no basements, ditches or roof gutters in Texas - even down around Houston, where they have proper weather part of the year.

        • For some reason no one builds basements around here either though you'd think with land prices being so high it would be a smart move to maximize usable space.

              Maybe people are worried about the basement collapsing in the event of an earthquake.

              • That's possible, I suppose, though I suspect it was just originally a decision by developers to minimize costs.

                      • Winning bids in my neighborhood are at asking or slightly above. I guess your market is quite different from being actually in NYC.

                              • Based on the market and the initial price ranges, that seems fair. Have you looked up the address on something like www.propertyshark.com? It can show you the current owner's loan situation (purchase prices, amount still outstanding) and give you a better idea of their flexibility. When I bought my current place, it told me the sellers were taking a loss. I ended up pushing them to take 500K less than asking.
