[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Why is that house priced at only $775,000 and not selling? It looks like a much more expensive property. Is it on a busy street?[/quote] No, the street is very nice. The house is gorgeous IMHO, but it is old. I can foresee lots if expensive repairs/maintenance/upgrades. The property itself is also very nice - not huge but not tiny either - just perfect. I think the fact that it is old is intimidating for potential buyers like me.[/quote] If the roof, electrical and plumbing have been updated, you ate fine.[/quote] Yeah 'ate' totally fine, ignore insulation, basement dampness,[b] tiny rooms, crap closed off layouts,[/b] plaster, asbestos, creaky floors, the list goes on for days[/quote] Op here. I don't know about the rest - well, the floors were a little bit creaky but in a charming kind of way and I think you are right about the insulation; however, I must say that the rooms were huge. Not in a bad way, just very spacious and nice. Even though it was not an open floor type of thing, it didn't NOT feel or seem cramped or claustrophobic at all. The bathrooms were wonderful and I was surprise by the amount of storage available (I thought it would be terrible). The layout was really nice actually, but I didn't check the basement because by then I had decided it was not for us and we had visited 9 houses prior to this one and I was exhausted (36w pregnant with a preschooler in town). A very charming house indeed.[/quote]
