Back to the topic at hand, the number of contracts is starting to go up again and I would expect that to continue as annual dues come out. The number of Poly contracts on the market is absurd (comparatively)...I wonder how long people will let them sit at the inflated prices (over a year ago)?
Wow that will get snapped up!
Not my UY, I don’t really want Poly and I don’t need that many points but I would’ve still bought it. Alas I was too late.
The extra points can make it more budget friendly by making your own magical beginnings, especially lately with all the stripped contracts out there, at least that is how I would’ve sold it to myself.
Seems like Fidelity lately is the only broker with deals. That one was posted in the wee hours of the am, could pay off to be checking when you did very late/very early am.
Could be. I saw around 2am and thought it had just posted. But I was also looking via an aggregator.
I'm on the west coast. It was there around 6 or 630pm PT (9pm or so ET). I mentally went through what I'd do with that many more points, then I passed on it. If it has been 100 or 150, I would've sent in an offer.

Fidelity is a great place to buy,. id say I've bought most from there, but maybe not the best place to sell.
Yep, yep and yepSpoken like a true addonoholic. lol

The service fee negotiations, and telling me I needed to use their preferred escrow both pushed the deal to don't-care-if-I-get-it slot last time, that, along with their weird cancellation policies, makes them my last shopping stop. It is one of the few I absolutely shop the full 10 day cancellation period in hopes I can find something 10 cents cheaper - which is not my normal mindset.Spoken like a true addonoholic. lol

I know you said not your normal mindset, but do folks often keep shopping during the 10 day period looking for better deals?
so I’m wondering if this tactic is ‘normal.’
I definitely did. But nothing better came up.I know you said not your normal mindset, but do folks often keep shopping during the 10 day period looking for better deals?
I’ve had two buyers drop out of a contract I’m selling
There is not a lot of shopping you can do in 10 days, if you consider a contract must come up, your offer accepted, and contract signed - so my guess is cold feet is at least as likely why someone cancels. Brokers DO know if you cancel a lot and that could cost you a good deal down the line. The new contract needs to be enough of a difference to put money in your pocket, and some Brokers tack on fees or semi-require their own more expensive Title company, so it's a lot of moving numbers. But sadly, there are some Very serious shoppers out there too. If I'm getting top dollar for a sale, I'm very aware of how much of a deposit is involved - 'cause as people here will tell you, Buyers WILL walk away from the deposit too. Which means you want to read the contract to see how that deposit is divided up between you and the Broker, or get a discount on the "next" commission if they get some of itI know you said not your normal mindset, but do folks often keep shopping during the 10 day period looking for better deals?
