That sucks! The market does seem to be going up so hopefully you won't have to wait too long.
I hope so. 3 of the 4 comps she had were forclosures or short sales.... so that seriously drives the price down.. I don't see how that is a comp when you look at how updated our house is etc.
Frustrating
That IS frustrating. Hopefully the other realtor makes more sense. I know that short sale/foreclosures do impact all home prices... But it shouldn't be the majority of the comps...
Lady's leave your babe at home my job is full of problems people blowin' up my phone and all my fellas leave your babe with the sitter cuz it's 12:30 and this mom is pumping, pumping
Have they come out to your house. We were able to list our house for more than the estimate based on comparable houses after the realtor came out and looked at the upgrades we did.
Actually, she was the only realtor that didn't come to our house. We called 3 realtors. 2 came out and one didn't. The one that didn't gave us this info. We are still waiting on one, and the first one was a total joke and gave us zero guidance.
There could still be hop but we may have to hang on to our house for a little bit.
That's really frustrating on top of being disappointing. I'm sorry!
We FINALLY got numbers back from one of the realtors we talked to this week. We will not be listing our house. They don't think we can sell for much more than we bought the house for, and there have been over $30K in updates put into the house. This is beyond disappointing. Guess we will be staying put for a while and hopefully market prices will come up.
We bought at the height of the market and are taking a huge loss to sell. We know it will never come back to what we paid and don't want to be here forever. It sucks!
We did the same. We ended up doing a short sale for $50K less than we owed. At one point we were upside down by $110K. There was no way the house was going to go back up to the purchase price. We are fortunate that a military move qualified us for the short sale without having to go into foreclosure or miss payments.
jeniece47 how's your mom doing? K's picture was so cute yesterday!
She is doing remarkably well considering everything her body has been through. She is still in ICU but is much more coherent. They are going to try to get her to walk today and maybe remove the feeding tube. Thank you for asking!
This morning we meet with a new in home daycare and like her, thank god!! I was seriously starting to freak because our nanny goes back to school in 3 weeks. Now unfortunately I'm spending the rest of the day waiting for the safelight guy to come repair my windshield. I was driving past a gravel truck when a rock flew out and crack my windshield It's going to cost us $337!!

sweetsurprise the inconsistency is fucking with him! He knows you will come in, he knows you will take him to your bed. You have to be tough here and let him cry. I know I'm not on here everyday to follow along with what you have and haven't done but if you keep giving in and bringing him to your bed this is only going to keep getting harder.
Tough it out for a few nights of letting him cry. I really think you are at that point.
Does he need to eat in the night? DD still has one MOTN feeding at about 3:00am. But luckily she's back in bed within 10 minutes.

The last time we did CIO (a month ago or so) he banged his head on the crib and had multiple bruises across his forehead and it totally scared the shit out of me. Now he stands up in his crib but his balance isn't great so he falls and bangs his head.
Does DD fall asleep immediately after taking her bottle? DH is against picking him up out of the crib once he's in there - hence the hour of patting. But after an hour I just can't.

SHUT UP! You pat his back for an hour?? You are a crazy woman!
For MOTN feedings I get DD out of the crib and sit in the rocker with her while she drinks her bottle. She usually drinks it with her eyes closed then I put her right back in bed, she flips over and goes to sleep.
BUT, a few months ago I had to let her CIO for other night time wake up's, especially when it was an hour after I've put her to bed. I jknew she didn't need anything, she was just fighting sleep or wanted me. That is sweet and I love her but she needs to sleep. I've never been successful going into the room to comfort either of my kids. It gets them even more worked up.
Luckily Sidney can sit back down after she stands but before DH would have to go in and lay her down. If she saw me, all bets were off and she would be a mess.
I think you have to go balls to the wall at this point.
I keep getting stressed about how I put LO to sleep. He gets his bottle and we sit in the glider for about 5 minutes and he falls asleep. I put him right in his crib and he stays there the rest of the time. I'm just worried that him falling asleep in my arms is getting him too used to that. Some nights he STTN and others he wakes up to come to our room. I'm scared to make a habit that will be hard to break in the future but right now it's just so easy to get him to sleep the way we're doing it. Kind of like don't fix what isn't broken right now, ya know?

I truly don't think that him falling asleep in your arms will create a tough habit to break. You bringing him to your room some nights MIGHT create a problem. Some nights he might be totally exhausted and just sleep all night in bed but whenever he wants, he can wake up, cry, and you'll bring him to your room.
If co-sleeping doesn't bother you then by all means keep doing it! I'm not saying to stop. Just saying that you are stressing the wrong behavior
FWIW, I let both my kids fall asleep while eating then put them in bed and so far with my toddler that has NOT been a problem. As my son got older, he was much more active before bed and wouldn't fall asleep after his bottle so I would put him to bed anyways and he would mess around for up to an hour before falling asleep! There are nights DD does that too. She rarely falls asleep while drinking her bottle but she used to.

you guys! I cannot handle all of the stupid in my life!!
My middle brother just lost his damn job, and has a baby due in October. between himself and his SO they have 6 KIDS and not a pot to piss in. so naturally today he went and got a tattoo today.

Our baby crashes while eating 75% of the time, the other 25% he falls asleep totally on his own. I don't worry about falling asleep eating either.

I third this. Dd falls asleep most nights eating. And in the MOTN always falls back to sleep when eating.

I guess I never thought of it that way but it makes way more sense. I don't mind co sleeping with him but I also don't want him to get too attached to it. Some nights when he wakes up DH will go in there and pat his butt and he will go back to sleep in his crib. If I go in there it's game over and he'll never go back to sleep. But most of the time DH is too out of it to know what he's doing and just ends up waking him up completely which is how he ends up in our bed.

I tried switching with DH a couple times for MOTN wake ups, and DS wakes completely if I go in, but will go right back to sleep for DH. We co-sleep basically when we go to bed because we get tired of getting up to paci pop. I want to try letting him fuss a bit to see if he'll just go back to sleep, but haven't attempted it much (he's done it a few times lately, but we haven't stuck with it). I'd like to break the co-sleeping because we don't sleep together (DH sleeps with DS and then we switch) and I miss my H. Also, we are house-hunting and I'd like to be able to consider a house where ability to go to DS MOTN on a regular basis isn't a deal breaker.
Also, hi! We had a busy day of more banks, then looked at 4 houses. Nothing was "the one" so now we are evaluating compromises and budget. I did really like one, but it would be the most work to update (needs all new kitchen appliances) and DH liked one that only had 2 bedrooms that I think just isn't enough room.
Last night I had pizza for the first time in over 7 months. Dd had a milk protein allergy, but I've been slowly working in dairy and she seems to be doing well so I went for it. Holy shit guise, it was so freaking delicious!
Edit because my gif wouldn't work so instead you just get a picture.

There is definitely still hope if the realtor who gave the estimate hasn't even come out to the house. At my office our listing agent does a full market analysis and then goes to the home to see about listing it. I'd wait until you meet with a Realtor who does a market analysis AND personally visits the home before giving up hope.
That sucks! The market does seem to be going up so hopefully you won't have to wait too long.
I hope so. 3 of the 4 comps she had were forclosures or short sales.... so that seriously drives the price down.. I don't see how that is a comp when you look at how updated our house is etc.
Frustrating
Comps should be coming from similar homes that have recently sold in your area, not just what is currently on the market. Or is that what you were talking about? Either way foreclosures and short sales shouldn't really be comparable anyway, at least not in terms of what your home is worth.
