@Joseph Cameron absolutely no softening here.

When the market starts to soften, often those are the properties that slow down first. 

Refinancing to new 30-year fixed (would be 2.85% w/ 6100 closing costs rolled in), with the goal of buying a new house and renting the condo out in 6 months-1 year when/if the market softens.

Here is my take:   With key parts of the economy is disarray, I expected the real estate market to soften up a lot.   

So much for any hopes of a Covid softening in prices. 

It is my opinion that when the new inventory hits the market, the market will soften slightly and go back to a healthier growth rate.

Now that prices are going up, everyone is jumping on the bandwagon.It might be time to hoard cash and wait for the market to soften a little.

Oil will soften Asphalt causing it to weaken and flow leading to ruts.

They are a little pricier on the front end, but would translate into utility savings for you or your tenants, which should translate into increased rent for you.If you must stick w/ a gas water heater, and you either have a water softener, or don't have hard water, consider an 'on-demand' water heater.

We softened them up for another buyer so to speak.
