Hi Gang,
As you know my wife and I lost our home and contents to the California wildfires.
I’m am hoping to find members that went through a loss or live in a community that experienced a flood, fire, earthquake,or tornado/hurricane.
There is going to be a housing shortage. I can only assume those that had adequate insurance will shortly be looking to purchase a home to replace the loss.
Last Thursday, my wife found a house for sale in Chico (near Paradise Ca.) We made an offer for 3% more than the asking price. The seller had eight offers in a 24 hour period. She accepted one of the offers with no option for us to counter.
Our plan is to find a good, local agent, explain what we are looking for and we will be ready to jump when one comes up for sale.
Anyone in this forum have any experience relating to our situation?
I don’t remember seeing anyone from the Santa Rosa area on the forum. Last year thousands of homes were lost.
Our insurance company will pay our rent until we find a replacement home.
We want a home, unfortunately there are many families wanting the same thing.
Hope to hear your experience.
Thank you,
Jeff
