Mike, still in Orange County? House looks great.
Had the HVAC worked on. We have a 3 zone system and zones 1 & 2 were overheating -- got up to 76 degrees and climbing. When we installed the new system in 2018 we had to replace the dampers for 1 & 2. The only one that was properly installed and working was for zone 3. Of course, now zone 3 damper failed and has to be replaced.
So $480 for parts and labor to fix it so that when zone 3 calls for heat it doesn't overheat 1 & 2 because the dampers default to open when the thermostat is satisfied. With zone 3 failure it closes and the heat has to go somewhere. I've been up in the attic to release zone 3 a couple of times while waiting for the parts.
I think that when we replaced everything it is a two stage. The dampers for the other zones were defaulting to open and the heat was flowing to those zones.Is your furnace modulating, single stage or two stage? A good modulating furnace will vary the amount of heat and air depending on load required whereas the others will either use a barometric type damper to dump the overload of heat back into the furnace, or the other zone dampers will be locked partially open to accept the overload.
The NC housing market is crazy right now. We listed our house and I was hesitant about the price. Went live Wednesday and had 7 showings right away, 4 more on Thursday and 2 on Friday. We had 5 offers with 4 over our list price. One under list significantly was an investor looking for a flip so tossed that.Listed the house for sale, went live Thursday at 5:30 PM.
We had 8 showings yesterday, got feedback from 4 so far, 3 of those 4 are interested and at least one said will most likely do an offer.
5 more showings today and 1 so far scheduled for tomorrow.
Hoping we don't have to do this again next weekend, but we'll see.
Such a nerve-wracking time. Everybody's telling us how much money we're gonna make. Yeah ok can't wait to see it.
Still looking for a new place in North Carolina, contemplating even an apartment for a few months while the market hopefully settles down a bit.
Between my last post about values a little over a week ago the average price on mine has gone up about 11K. Crazy!Good luck! The market in TN is crazy right now, too. Lots of people leaving Cali and the northern states. TN is one of the top "one way" Uhaul destinations currently. Our agent said he likes to keep 10-12 properties listed, currently ours is the only one. We got a solid offer and they put $1k down in earnest, waiving home inspection, and got essentially full ask (actually $10k over but we pay up to $10k closing).
EDIT: to add that our agent doesn't see it slowing down for the next year, minimum.
Count yourself lucky if you're moving since we're at the top of the market right now. However, that also means you're buying at the top of the market unless you can wait/rent for awhile until things change and buy later when things settle down a bit. No one's paying attention to fundamentals. My real estate agent just shakes his head when asked about this market. "Craziest thing I've ever seen. Great, but crazy." "It'll fall. And when it does it's going to hurt."
