  1. Any Volvo folks here? I just traded in my Jeep and am picking up my ‘22 XC60 tomorrow. The dealer offered me a couple hundred dollars less than what I paid for the Jeep three years ago. After months of research and weighing the pros and cons, I decided to pull the trigger. I’ll keep this car and baby it for the next 5-7 years for sure.
  2. Two good posts that demonstrate that New Englanders in general are good, reasonable people. Why can’t the rest of the country follow our lead?
  3. Park at the Haymarket garage and then get validated parking. A 7/11 receipt works. I think it ends up being $2 to park for the day.
  4. A brisk 52F here while it’s pushing 100F in OWD.
  5. I was at a conference in Orlando two weeks ago. At least 100 out of the 500 got it, fortunately most were mild. I know of one that was hospitalized, but stable.
  6. Sounds like the feds. Although 10 months would be record breaking.
  7. 46F with solar destruction. Breezy with a wind chill in the upper 30’s. Come on.
  8. Drove through a shower with cat paws earlier on 128 in Beverly. Best spring ever.
  9. @Supernovicedid predict a chilly summer in his doomsday forecast.
  10. Just got home from a work trip down in Florida. Night and day.
  11. Yes. Here’s an example. The house is listed for $400K. I offer $500K, and will cover up to $30K in the event of an appraisal gap between offer price and appraised value. I put 5 percent down, or $25K. The house appraises for $470K. I now pay 5 percent of $470K and cover the $30K appraisal gap. So I really put down $23,500 plus $30,000, or $53,500. The rest is financed. Any appraisal less than $470K, and the selling price will need to be reduced accordingly.
  12. That’s the thing. I’m a FTHB with a decent monthly income that can comfortably afford the monthly payment when overbidding by 10-15%+. However, I can’t just reach into my back pocket and guarantee more money to put down in the event the place doesn’t appraise. Pinched on both sides.
  13. I overbid too and agreed to cover a $30k appraisal gap OOP. Who needs furniture or some cushion reserves?
