Oh wow congrats on the sell! That was really fast, huh. But then, it was gorgeous, so makes sense it sold like hot cakes. Good on you :) and thanks for the JRE recommendation, it sounds really exciting!
Thank you! We officially closed today. Hallelujah! Now we need to start the renovations on this new property. You're welcome. This episode is in my top three JRE podcasts ever. I ordered the audiobook version of Thomas Campbell's books after listening. I can wait to dive in. I hope you're having fun on your trip!
Your condo looks stunning, I'm going to get a friend's daughter to help me when I sell, but will have to start getting rid of stuff! I love that little old lady, she's braver than me, I like to be in control, will take some getting used to.
I will listen to that podcast, sounds fascinating!
Thank you Lizelle! The staging sure did make a huge difference. Downsizing is a process! It took us a solid two years to prepare before we moved out of our first house in 2015. That woman was wonderful! I hope I'm that open-minded at her age. The podcast is amazing. I ended up buying Thomas Campbell's book after listening to it. It seems like consciousness might be the key to finding the unified theory of physics.
Congratulations on the sale of the condo! Such a quick sale is amazing, in these times. We'll be trying to sell our large house next year to move to a smaller less expensive place, and we're crossing our fingers for a quick sale, as well... because we've been bleeding cash for a while. Life is expensive!
Thank you! Yes, we were super grateful for the quick sale. Properties around us have been lingering on the market for months to over a year. We came full circle. We sold our first house in 2015 to downsize into something smaller so we could travel and did that for a few years then the pandemic hit and we stopped traveling and now we're back into a larger house. We're finding the utility bills here are absolutely astronomical! I can't believe how much more expensive life is in 2025 compared to a decade ago.
The cost of living is — quite frankly — scary. I mean, if you're a homeowner, so much you pay for is loosely indexed by your property value. Sure, it's great that our house has appreciated by 400% since 2011, but so has the cost of insurance, property taxes, HOA fees and so on. Our incomes sure haven't appreciated by 400% over that period!
Meanwhile, a very ordinary dozen eggs is currently $9.89, allegedly because of "bird flu." When that threat wanes, will the price come back down? Not likely...
I agree, without a government mandate or some kind of price caps I don't think we'll see prices go down too much on essentials. Between 2018 and 2024 our HOA fee rose from $275 to $620. When adjusted for inflation incomes are considerably less than they were a decade ago. It's pretty easy to see this road we're on is leading and it's nowhere good.
What a thrill! I am so happy for you. I know all the work the remodelers did. Although, considering how nice it turned out, we shouldn't be surprised that you sold it so soon. ¡¡¡¡May this be a taste of all the wonderful things that are going to happen to you this new year, my friend!!!! By the way, what must have happened to keep your post from showing up on Hive? Strange. Hugs and wrap up warm
Thank you Nancy! I really appreciate it. I think this is going to be a really good year. It was so strange with the post! There's some technical glitch that's happening with the Hive front-end, one of the witnesses is looking into it. He said all of my "embeds" (links) might be throwing off the front-end graphical user interface. Hopefully I didn't break Hive! Lol. I hope you enjoy your day my friend!
Wow wonderful news on the sale of the Condo, you are right it takes effort and teamwork to move property in the market today. Congratulations, as you say with a sigh of relief!
Self-drive cars will take a long time reaching our third world shores, interesting to see how advancement is moving forward of late.
Will check out the Joe Rogan chat I do enjoy many of his visitors when I have some free time. For those who don't like long discussions it won't be for them, personally long format gives one opportunity to dive deep!
Thanks Joan! I'm curious, did you view this on Hive or PeakD? For some reason the post isn't generating on Hive. I've asked someone who knows more about this than I do to see if he can figure out why.
From here easier with PeakD no problem encountered. When I have encountered problems I normally do a Hive API speed check, then which Hive Engine API node is running, might be a node problem in General Settings. Used to have intermittent problems, settled on using PeakD.
One of the witnesses is looking into the issue for me. He thought some of the front-end parsing was off because he didn't see any errors on the blockchain. I'm using PeakD more and more because of issues like this with the Hive front-end. I just wish it was more mobile browser friendly.
Only ever use a desktop, don't have patience to fiddle on smaller! Touch typist comes into it's own on a keyboard. Even laptop only used with keyboard attached !LOLZ
Thank you my friend but I give most of the credit to the team. It's an exciting time for Tesla. Hopefully the regulatory process won't take too long for the FSD tech. Have a wonderful day!
That is cool that your condo sold so quickly! Congrats! It's definitely a different market from four years ago. We have houses around us that are sitting empty and in 2021 they would have been snatched up before they even had a sign in front of them. It's pretty crazy. All of these tech advancements are coming so quickly! I hope we have a way to strap in so we can handle them!
Thanks, we were amazed when we got the offer! We're seeing the same kind of market around the Twin Cities. 2024 was the slowest real estate market since 1995, according to one report I found. With the astronomical mortgage interest rates it's no wonder.
The innovations are pretty exciting. Tesla is becoming better at keeping certain updates under wraps and surprising the public at the right times (like before earnings calls). I'm really excited for Optimus but probably wouldn't buy the first gen one.
That is definitely true, the interest rates don't help things at all! 6% for my recent car loan was just about enough to make me want to walk everywhere!
Our son is trying to find a house and he's decided to rent a while longer instead of paying this exorbitant rates. I think we're long overdue for a market correction.
My wife and I have been kind of looking, but unless we can avoid financing, I think we are also going to need to wait longer and just continue to build equity in our current house.
Wow, great news! It's fantastic your condo sold very quickly! We have a small apartment (on the mountain close to my city) for sale since some months and I cross my fingers to sell it soon! 😊
That's some wonderful interiors mate. Keep up the good work. If I wish to buy how much will you resell me this for😇😇😇
Tesla just keeps getting better and that's gret for tech, and yea conciousness and it's nature does hold the key to understanding the fundamentals of reality and our universe. It's wht I call unwarping the matrix within 😎. Cheers...
I appreciate it! I'm fine with self-driving as long as I have the option to drive if I want to. I enjoy driving so much that I would miss it but, I tell you, some of the things I see other drivers do on the roads make me believe it's time for most humans to hand over their driving privileges. Lol.
Yep, that option to drive will be paramount for me. It is the same on our roads here, and nary a day passes without us also having close calls. Cutting in and crossing red traffic lights seems to be a sport here. So, maybe you are right about the handing over of driving privileges. !LOL
Many many thanks for the upvote @ericvancewalton. It is my sincere wish for you to have more achievements in your endeavor in the days ahead. My applause for that for you😇😇
Interesting the kitchen is the exact same combination of cherry wood cupboard doors and black speckled granite as the kitchen I put in my old house in Sydney in the 1990s. Timeless charm.
Thank you. Yes, this building was built in 2005 and the previous owner changed nothing. The lighter quartz counter tops seem to be in fashion now but I think the dark granite will come back around again. It's so fragile! There were lots of chips on the edges.
It is good news when something we have worked hard for sells and if it gives us a good profit, we are much happier. It's going well and people are making good profit from it and we'll see more features in Tesla in the near future.
Congrats on the sale - great effort and result!!
Thank you!
Congrats on the sale. Price and appearance are foundational for sure. FSD is such a game changer.
Thank you! FSD is incredible, it's a shame the average person listening to MSM believes the lies they tell about how inept it is.

Nothing I can see
It's weird, the entire post is showing on PeakD but not Hive. This has never happened before.

Good afternoon dear friend @ericvancewalton
You have done a great job, it could not be otherwise. This is really excellent news, my congratulations.
Another great news from Tesla. Autonomous driving will be of great help to the elderly and those with some minor disability
This is excellent
Have a lovely afternoon

I think waiting is a smart move. With inventory being so stagnant I think we're going to see a huge decrease in prices.
Congratulations on your condo being sold in less than 24 hours, Tesla car's self-driving technology FSD looks great. (PEAKD Showing your content )
Thank you! It's so strange how Hive isn't showing the post.
Wow, great news! It's fantastic your condo sold very quickly! We have a small apartment (on the mountain close to my city) for sale since some months and I cross my fingers to sell it soon! 😊
Thank you! I hope you sell yours quickly. Someone should be interested in an apartment in the mountains.
Congratulations on the sale of your condo, that's an exciting news. The news from Tesla is huge too and would be of great advantage to so many people.
Thank you!
That a great news to hear. I believe God favoured your effort
Thanks!

Your condo looks beautiful in pictures. I am sure that really helped it sell!
Thank you! The photographer did an amazing job. I'm thrilled how it all came together.
Happy that the condo sold so quickly., but for the life of me, I cannot see myself ever owning a self drive car. I will get bored in it. !LOL

Funny how rock is so fragile.

success really take effort, strategy and persistence and I agree with that.
Absolutely!
Sharing on Twitter.
A massive congratulations on the sale
I know it must not have been easy but you pull through
Good houses here gets sold within a few days even if price is high, so no surprise on the quick sale!
