Need home buying tips, any agents here, or anyone with buying experience? Long

If you insist on buying right now, don't haggle, just buy. The market won't tolerate your cheapness.

That said, there's no better time to sell and get out of Lyons, especially with the apartments and mass housing going up in Longmont. The housing prices in that area are gonna dip soon when that opens up, especially with immigration down.

I'm with the other guy. GTFO and rent for a couple years. I'm betting you'll be dollars ahead, even with the cost of rent, especially without the pressure to find a place RIGHT NOW, and the costs associated with doing so from 800 miles away.
