But I didnt so I agreed to pay a price higher than my budget called for. But given possibly i can rent out a room with own bath and entry, although in the basement w/ windows, maybe that will help make up the difference. The cape is odd right now, with some super bargains in foreclosure type places that need varying degrees of fixing up including, often, a new septic system. On the other hand in the "better" locales prices are still high (from my POV) from $350000 on upward.<br /><br />It turns out this house I have made an offer on is a house the owner grew up in. That means it was purchased many years ago and maybe had only one or two owners as it was built in the early 70's. So its sales history hasnt been tested. The neighborhood is somewhat "working class" and shabby and unkempt in places but with nice houses intermingled. I cant see the lake but could walk around a few streets and get to the public access. The house has less than 1/4 acre and is oddly situated on the lot. Also back again with the traffic noises and prob. can't let the cats out.sukipoethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09351851210507048174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34861243.post-73406177307917463112009-09-26T20:41:57.533-04:002009-09-26T20:41:57.533-04:00suki! oh man you must be nervous! but how exciting...suki! oh man you must be nervous! but how exciting too! i would guess you will be getting a good deal on the house because the market is below market value right now. and to be near water!<br /><br />i like pocasset. i hope the inpection is good and nothing to be worried about. if you need a push forward, just ask your dear friends here. and if it really doesn't feel right for good reason, you'll know that too.<br /><br />i've been impressed with lynn's advice.<br /><br />xoxokjhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15122196887043345981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34861243.post-23528161706898953292009-09-25T17:36:21.198-04:002009-09-25T17:36:21.198-04:00i know a lot of poeple worry about reselling a hou...i know a lot of poeple worry about reselling a house they buy, but to mw the house has to be right for YOU first, that is all that counts, the reselling will worry about itself (if you know what i mean?)... and that lake is gorgeous.soulbrushhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16879115279499153124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34861243.post-66964937753255780912009-09-25T06:13:12.842-04:002009-09-25T06:13:12.842-04:00This comment has been removed by a blog administrator.Kevinhttp://www.recoverybull.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34861243.post-49308961615285633302009-09-24T15:25:31.340-04:002009-09-24T15:25:31.340-04:00Yes, if the inspection comes back with something y...Yes, if the inspection comes back with something you don't feel good about, always remember that you have options...not just to back down from your offer, but to change your offer to reflect what it will cost to deal with anything bad in the inspection report.

Well, Suki, maybe they are trying to bring the neighborhood back up by making houses nicer and getting better people in there. It's been known to happen. The area looks dreamy. I think you like it, or you wouldn't have made an offer. <br /><br />That was a stupid thing for the realtors to pose to you. I agree, I would not let them stay after closing either. That's unheard of. They could do damage, steal the paper off the walls and who knows what else! :) No, I would never settle for that and you were right to refuse. <br /><br />I hope all goes well with the inspection. I really want something to work out for you. You deserve to get your stuff out of storage and make yourself a home!Katiejanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10703557560000189704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34861243.post-92097189825517128052009-09-23T18:15:34.454-04:002009-09-23T18:15:34.454-04:00Things are looking up.
