We went about 10% over asking price on this one. If we don't get it, we'll go with one of the no bidding war new builds until the market cools a bit.

I don't know the details of your situation, but it might be worth looking into renting especially if it means you can be in a part of town you'd prefer. Of course I understand the rental situation in Austin isn't great these days either. Still, buying a place I'm not thrilled with "until the market cools a bit" wouldn't be a good reason to invest in a house for me, but you have to make that call.

beach house to you. High speed internet, Zooms with the ocean waves breaking in the background. ISP is a short distance away, (JFK and LGA also accessible) so you can get anyplace you need to be.Seriously though, don't buy something just to buy something. If you can't live in it happily for at least 5 years, don't do it.

My flight yesterday took 2 WX delays due to the storm front detours and winds aloft. We also had 145 mph headwinds for just about all of the JFK-MSY trip which added over 30 minutes of flight time.

edit: interesting, pilot just addressed the flight. Says our 4 hour delay was because Jax airspace was closed for several hours to due to lack of ATCs. Will be interesting to get on the pilot forums to hear their take on the situation.

I hear you. Two delays thus far today. Anyone want to take the bet on whether or not I'm stranded in Atlanta overnight? Tho it was a nice trip

Glad you got to vacate - you needed and deserved it.
