Housing market

Just refinanced, nothing crazy, just a great rate. Have read it's a bad time to try buying.
Currently in the process of listing our home in NE Iowa and then looking for one in area between Ames/Ankeny and Marshalltown, looked at a house in Nevada for it's 1st and only open house on Friday and it is already pending sale. the last 2 homes on our street up there sold with in a week and 24 hours, so selling shouldn't be an issue but trying to find one down here is going to be an arms race for what we are looking for..
Went under contract for a house that was in the process of being flipped. It was almost done when we offered and it got accepted. We’re supposed to close on April 23, still waiting due to the septic. The dumbass who is flipping the house didn’t start the septic until April 21. We’re still living in a hotel and will probably be doing so for the rest of the month. Also no concessions because he could just list it again and get a similar price to what we offered.
This is in Rhode Island. We will get water views and be walking distance from a beach.

CBus is a **** show. Wouldn’t be surprised to see violence in the coming months as rich white people fight over the few houses available in desirable neighborhoods with 4 beds/3baths.
I wouldn't want to be a buyer right now. Any new builds in Polk County would run close to $300,000 right now. Got a really nice house in Des Moines 3 years ago, now homes are going for 25-30 thousand more than what we paid back then and they are dumps.
Building a house. So far it's normal. I think. Trying to decide when to sell. I've had people say now and others say the market is going to get even crazier. I've been told if I list my house now it will sell for cash with-in a day and I won't have to mess with showings.
I’ve heard some crazy rental stories too around here, had a friend of the wife say many places requiring 850 credit score. Eviction moratorium I imagine
850? Damn, that's a bit extreme
Yeah, it’s high enough that I’m questioning the source, hah.
Considering about 1% of the U.S. population has a score of 850, I'd say you're right to question the source.
