We will most likely never purchase a house again with a sub 4% interest rate also i dont think we will ever purchase a brand new house with that much property for a price as low as this was.When we went to sell we went under contract multiple times and people kept walking after starting the contract, so as a first time seller it was nerve racking and stressful, we ended up taking an offer that was a couple thousand less then what we wanted to sell for and the market in NC was still showing strong positive growth, if i could talk myself through this sale now i would convince myself to hold on and let the offers keep coming until i was happy with the number, the market is my favor.Did you work with any real estate professionals (agents, lenders, etc.) that you'd recommend to others?
