This could be it - fingers crossed!
Well, my daughter is looking at houses again! She was really bummed
when she got so close to getting one in February and it didn't work out due to a miserable house inspection report (house should have been sold "as is" since the owners refused to repair anything!). Anyway, she's got the bug again and we are going to see one tomorrow morning at 8:30am. It has been listed for about 10 days, but tomorrow is the first day for showings since it was being rehabbed. It sounds like just what she needs. It has 4 bedrooms in addition to a finished attic and full basement. It has been all redone on the inside, has new windows and siding and roof. It also has a fenced yard (165 feet deep) already which she needs for her pups. It has a mud room and a laundry room on the main floor and ceiling fans in many of the rooms. There is a church across the street and green acres property behind her which means they can't build there. And she has parking for 3 cars. The price is not to be believed! And she said if it goes through, I can use her basement for a long arm machine room in trade for baby sitting! (see how easy it is to make it on-topic?). At this price, it won't last long. She is going away for the weekend, leaving early tomorrow so that's why the appointment is so early. The house is vacant as well. Plus, it is very close to our house so my cuddle time with the baby shouldn't be decreased at all. If she likes it right off, she will make an offer immediately. We've seen the outside already which is ok, so she just needs to make sure the inside has what she needs. Please keep your fingers and toes crossed for her - and me - on this one. I know some folks are on the other side of the fence with selling their houses and some are buying, so you know how this goes. Houses here are on the market for less than 2 weeks so we gotta jump on this one right quick. I'll keep you posted! Thanks! AliceW |

Okay. You knew Old Grumpy would appear here. We've been through so many
tales of basements flooding, leaking and assorted trauma. Please, please before you make an offer, do find out if the entire neighborhood or state drains through the front door and downstairs. For obvious reasons, there are no basements in the Swamp so I only know about them through this group. Can we please have a professional inspection before we fork over any signatures or dollars? Other than that, it just sounds so wonderful. Very best wishes, Polly "maryd" wrote in message ...
