It’s been about a month since we sold our house in Minneapolis. The deal actually closed this time! I know that people successfully sell houses every day, we’ve just have a bad track record as of late. With that chapter closed we’re now on the buying side where the bidding wars and no inspection contingency offers are less of an exciting novelty.
Still we’re hoping to land a little mid century house as close in as we can afford, maybe in an area with bad schools or some other anomaly that keeps the price down enough so that some Midwestern transplants can afford it.
It’s competitive out there because of shockingly low inventory and plenty of buyers who don’t seem at all phased by interest rates and the over hyped “death of Portland” narrative.
In other news episode 23 of Shorelunch, the fishing and outdoor cooking program I make with my pal Nate, hath been unleashed upon the world.
This one features guest Mr. Yia Vang, (James Beard finalist, chef & owner Union Hmong Kitchen, host PBS’s Relish, host Outdoor Network’s Feral and overall very nice man).
T’was a fun shoot but a bit loose and off the cuff even by our lax standards. Give it a look and pass it on to one million of your friends, preferably those with deep pockets and media connections, I’m tryna buy a house over here.
