Thanks for the anecdote, but you’re neighborhood’s probably not that nice. Talk to realtor.com’s national average... not me.

the town just north of me has a pool, included in their tax bill for free entry to all residents. just like how they have police for security and a parks department for green spaces. you’re literally paying someone else for what your local government should be doing.

it never is, it was just an example. good lord i would hate to live in a place with guest parking enforcement. i pay someone to tell me who can visit me and if they can park outside my house? no thanks.

and you thought YOU were the cranky grump.

There’s a lot of things it depends on. It was merely a demonstration that you’re not getting your “increased home values” for nothing.

I linked to realtor.com for average single family home HOA fees at 200-300 nationally. I do not personally have an HOA and have no interest in being part of one. Don’t ask where when I provide a link.

Lets see...$5000 in property value.

And the “national championship” is won by a team that didn’t even win their conference championship. Glad the playoff system worked out all the drama of illegitimate champions!

I tried to use the “I’m paying cash give me a lower price” line. It didn’t work. Those loans are approved while you sit there same day, they win double if you use their financing, etc. Using “cash offer” as leverage is a dinosaur tactic at this point, or a tactic for the housing market...because you can legitimately…

buying homes, or new cars, or diamond engagement rings, gyms, fabric softener, etc. etc.

Using the numbers in the “meme busted” guy’s video. He spent a couple grand on coca cola and $1500 on the drone he destroyed when he filled the pool with coke. Say that $4,000 total. Plus apparently 17 man-hours to fill it with coke by the “meme busted” guy’s estimate, but I’m sure he had help so it wasn’t actually 17…
