BIG-DICK-BUTT-gently caress posted:actionjackson lives in a condo which means it's gonna be more expensive bc of the increased risk. Shoot a nail in the wrong spot and you hit a water pipe and flood your downstairs neighbors condo, with no accessible water shutoff valve in reach. Plus it's a pain in the rear end to work in a condo,but mostly it's the increased risk. So obviously you do this for a living so you are the expert, looking again it looks more like 25k, so that might have been a misread by me. However as you very well know, your picture is from a pretty standard size kitchen, but there's also plenty of giant houses with giant fuckoff kitchens. The place I'm working with mentioned they've had renos up to 80-100k. Also 3k for all four appliances is EXTREMELY cheap. There are plenty of single appliances that are far more than that even. Thankfully I live on the bottom floor so some of the things you mentioned are not an issue. The place I used kept the cabinets, but put in new slab doors and drawers to give it a frameless look, and did the blum hinges where you push and the door pops out, and when you push the door or drawer back in it "grabs" it at the end to pull the last bit of distance (tip-on blumotion for movento if you are familiar, I think each drawer for that is like 200-300). I'm paying 10k to have this done in my galley kitchen, which includes everything, including a custom paint color. It would have been like 6800 if I had done typical doors with hardware. I had considered replacing cabinets, but because I'm a modern design slut I got an estimate from a really nice place that had the look I want, and that was like 20K just for cabinets and all the demo. But I would not be happy with doors with insets, or hardware of any kind. https://puustelliusa.com/

checking in to report an interesting detail i just learned about the starter townhome we bought in the early-mid 2010s and sold for a 45% higher price last year (after springing for cheap carpets/paint/appliances to cover our wear & tear) the buyer is leasing it out per some research i did during the sale she is/was a 30-ish woman living at a modest suburban home with her parents, so i thought it was going to be her starter home this is where our generation is in 2022: if you can't live the american dream, maybe you can at least seek rent from those still chasing it i guess she got a great interest rate but the home appreciated an extra 40k or so in value while we were on the market, basically out of thin air, which is probably why we learned she's charging rent that's hundreds above what neighbors have been paying until recently. it was vacant for a few months until she got a tenant, probably once rates went to poo poo and people realized they missed the party it's painful talking to friends entering the market because things keep getting worse and worse to get our new place we lost a ton of bids before we lowballed a badly overpriced house whose sellers finally relented (after squandering the initial rush of attention and bids that new listings get in the first couple weeks). it still needs some work but i'm in a forever home at a good price point with a 5% down / 30 yr / 2.875% mortgage. as stressful as the whole process was, knowing that the same grueling procedure now yields an even further overpriced house at a 5%+ rate makes me despair for my friends. my only hope is that the increasingly terrible rates deter enough of the small-time "investment property" seekers to make a dent in housing inventory

Ardennes posted:Anyway, even with rates rapidly climbing, I doubt we will see at 2008 style crisis if only because there are so many deep pockets in property markets. It doesn’t mean there may be cooling but there are too many big players in it at this point. i agree we won't see a 2008 crash in housing for a bunch of reasons. foremost is there's next to no variable interest rate loans this time around. but i also dont think the govt is going to let housing prices fall in the same way where people realize it's worth walking away. at best we'll just get stagnation like from 2015-2020 , especially as interest rates tick up. but even as i say that, stagnation should have already set in and it hasn't , so it's a really weird market. maybe it really is all owned behind the scenes by giant companies, and we know they'll get bailed out again

look at the size of this loving kitchen, you can't even fit it all in one pic. it's almost bigger than my home how many loving cabinets do you need, there's like 50 doors and drawers just in this pic, what the gently caress are they putting in these those appliances are probably 10-15k alone. of course you could also upgrade to the pelosi package of a separate subzero fridge and freezer (10k each), wolf wall oven, and whatever else and prob spent 35k just on those. don't forget the 5k miele built in coffee maker

There's another kitchen area for caterers and personal chefs that's more industrial in form and function behind a door. The cabinets in that picture are almost empty

re: these types of cabinets - serious question for the thread. why is it that sometimes the style *looks* extremely expensive and contemporary and other times the style *looks* extremely cheap? like basically ikea cabinetry. I’m serious, at first I thought it was exclusively the impact of the handles but it seems to be more than that

Ornery and Hornery posted:re: these types of cabinets - serious question for the thread. materials, ikea stuff is going to be particle board, fiber board and a lot of plastic, basically super lightweight and cheap - I think it might be called thermofoil, which is very susceptible to heat and moisture damage nice stuff is going to be solid wood, or maybe MDF, and with a really nice clear coat, before painting (if done)

Innocuous posted:my only hope is that the increasingly terrible rates deter enough of the small-time "investment property" seekers to make a dent in housing inventory Last week we offered 5% over asking on the house next door to that one, same lot size with a mirrored floorplan but in need of far less work. This time around there was only one other bid (which was of course all cash) but I guess the seller had some backbone and went with us because we're going to actually live there. bawfuls has issued a correction as of 19:41 on Apr 25, 2022 |
