Yeah that’s not us - we’re native Rhode Islanders who plan to live in this state forever.

And also, perhaps this will fall on deaf ears but maybe consider not referring to diversity and inclusion as a joke/something that’s ruining the state.

How are they obsolete? Just curious your view. It is a trade like most others. Skills and education to assist a client in one of the most financially important purchases of their lives. Why wouldn't you want a seasoned professional on your side?

Pawtucket is absolutely awful. Depressing city.

Dummies are buying. I’m one year what they paid will drop by 200k. Wait.

Realtors are obsolete. Find a new profession soon.

No one. Providence is a shit hole.

Yep. I bought after the financial crises in 2008, and our lender went on and on about new rules put in place to prevent that sort of crash again. We were still approved for an amount that, if used, would have resulted in us eating nothing but Ramen noodles for the next decade. It's insane.

Yeah you’ll never ever afford 450k

Wrong? It’s a fact people are still buying and homes are being sold quickly. Is it foolish? I don’t know bud, rents are going up so one can argue not buying is foolish.

$250k it’s not a 425k hood you’re dreaming.

That attitude is exactly why there are some fantastic deals in the Pawtucket market.

A good realtor lol. You don’t need a realtor fir anything but giving away your money.

Saps

Pawtucket. HAHAHAHA!!!

Now your catching on ! Yes, the inflated housing prices that have doubled if not tripled in the last three years are in fact too high. Your other comment had folks in my end question your intelligence but I said give my boy a second, he’ll get it!

Wrong. You gotta be a fool to buy with these interest rates. So. You’re all fools.

Plenty of people are still buying, I’ve been to open houses that are packed, homes in certain desirable locations barely last a week, if that, before they are sold. So wtf are you talking about….

A Time Machine feels like our best path to property ownership 😂 now to figure out how to build one…..

Never this, never that. Rome didn't fall in a day or whatever. Speaking in absolutes in foolish.

they are the definition of economic inequality , bunch of over paid economic migrants from other states ruing our local economy with diversity and inclusion what a joke RI has become , we used think the mob running the city was a bad thing hahahah!!

We’re ideally looking for a 3bd/2ba with an updated kitchen that otherwise isn’t a major fixer upper (I’m cool with painting, refreshing/updating a bathroom, doing a few DIY fixes but I really don’t want to have to renovate a kitchen and/or live in a construction zone).

We are only looking in certain locations which is what makes it difficult: Cranston (Edgewood, Meshanticut, Eden Park, Garden City, western Cranston) and the Elmhurst area of Providence.

We do have an agent who is great! We’ve been looking seriously/making offers for the last 3-4 months. We were so close to getting a home recently (estate sale in Cranston in the Dean Estates area) but the inspection revealed some major issues and we had to back out to avoid buying a complete money pit. We were close to homeownership in December too but just got in at the wrong time- we had a backup offer on a house but the original deal went through (home ended up selling for $10k less than our back up offer)

We’re keeping our hopes up that we will land in the right home at the right time! I just took to Reddit to vent today cause it was one of those days lol

Hey another cincy boy in RI!

URI area is upscale rural/suburbs. Anything north and west of URI is the sticks. East Greenwich is rich. Cranston/Johnston is NJ of RI
