I would sign tomorrow @ 117k
MY realtor who is also a family friend. Top salesperson in the County for the last 3 years. President of the realtors association for the county. Just to give you her credentials.
She just threw that number out there because there is another house on the next street over that is comparable to mine, new siding, new windows, etc. I think mine is a tad bigger, but he has a better layout inside. Mine looks way more curb appeal IMO. She's listing his house for 129k in the next few weeks. I just want rid of the damn thing. I love the house, but I think only i love it is because I put so much of my "sweat equity" into it, also stitches in my head, etc. cuts, bruises, sore back, etc.......
My new home, which is being finalized by the arcitiect, is 1000x better then this house. going to cost around 235k to build, plus the property of 12 ac. i just purchased. I will be a new home w/ 3 car attached garage, and a nice big open floor plan, roughly the same amount of sq. feet, but on 1 floor and a huge 18'x9' kitchen w/ island. in the middle of the damn woods, with tons of wildlife.
I'm going to move into my grandmothers house til the new home is done. She lives alone, and only lives there 5 months out of the year.
