[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think that kitchen is $100K easy and I think the entire thing needs a ton of work.  I don't think it would be done by September, either, unless you know that you could close next week, find a contractor and get your permits on some kind of expedited basis.  I think that is unlikely.  You will wait at least a month for your permit.[/quote]

Builder here...couldn't agree more...kitchen - 30-35k cabinets,15-20 appliance,5-7k countertops, plus lighting, plumber, demo, new floor - there's your hundred...hall baths figure 15k, master bath figure 30-50k.

btw, I do not live or work in your area but I like the house...do yourself a favor find someone you can trust and not recommended by the realtor to take a hard look at the house - the mechanicals - are they original, electric, how may amps, HVAC, etc...windows - houseful of windows is could be another 50k...the deck in the back has to go...nice patio is more $$$....again like the house but it is a project...and if you are like most folks I meet and I mean this respectfully I tell them the numbers - they look at me like I am crazy and tell me that I only do high end really nice work (which is true) then come back after about 6 months of doing there homework and tell me I was right....I look at that house and 200-300k is my visceral reaction...kitchen/baths/paint/etc...and I'm thinking closer to 300k..and btw you will by September just not this year....now if you are handy and want a three-five year nights and weekend project that is a different story...[/quote]

I think this is spot on.[/quote]

Yes...my father is a local contractor who renovates in upper NW and my gut was 200-300K without blinking an eye.[/quote]
