Oh yeah.. I've been to that house's twin. The property was AMAZING and part of the house was lovely.. the rest of it looked like a demented child had been caretaking. Would have costs a fortune to fix and they were asking way too much in light of that.
Your best bet, in light of the market, is to ask your realtor to pull listings that have been on the market more than 9 months. Desperate owner=good price negotiation

Or owner = too stubborn to lower price even after 9 mos b/c they were told by someone that someone else in the area got $X for their house even though it's not comparable. Or they've got a mortgage that's bigger than the resale value. Or..
Yeah.

We've got slim pickings right now. Not exactly a target-rich environment. Five today, meh at best for all of them. Bleah. Blah. Blarrgh!

Boychild's sprouting a 'stache. Noooooooooooo....!

It's still removable with milk and a cat, but damn.

Friday afternoon bump.

I am tired from all the not-liking-it house seeing.

Bleah.

Barkeep! Something to get the taste of "meh" out of my mouth!

Okay it's Monday and I'm the only one in here since Friday?!!

hey Rose! I'm guessing good weather is keeping folk busy outdoors; I know that's where I've been.

What is this "good weather" of which you speak?

(Okay we've had some bare ground visible the last few days, but I've been busy house hunting.)

Oooo...come here to Tenn! Lots of houses...It's actually been unseasonably warm (70+) the past several days so I've been frantically working in my epic vegetable garden-to-be and in the chicken coop; in another month I can move my chicks in there and later this year...fresh eggs & veggies.
Good luck on the house hunt...you and yours are always welcome near me and mine!

Unless you've got a particle accelerator back in the shed that's not likely. Generous offer of neighborliness, mind!

My mom's pointing out all the lovely things they have in bloom and the fact that she hasn't owned a shovel in over 15 years. Brat.

Have fun with the chookies. I like Buff Orpingtons but they go broody, and Speckled Sussex lay pink eggs. Auraucana/Ameraucanas lay blue-green.

Ducks are fun, except for their mating habits. If you got rid of the drakes it would probably be all right. Again with the green egg thing.

House hunting sucks.. it just sucks.
We have several good properties, but the IRS in it's infinite wisdom keeps sending us letters saying they are too busy to clear our issue, but they appreciate our patience and they might get to it soon
( been 6 months now)

Also, reasonably confident that Doctroid can build his own

Particle accelerator, or house?

Head fulla brains, that one.

This house hunting thing is definitely of teh suckage this time around. I have yet to get that happy feeling about any of the places I've seen.

The last time we bought a house I was skipping. (Gorgeous Fall day and we were walking the trails through the woods.)
