Anyone want to buy a house?

[djm195]

djm - would you mind telling me what city you are in?  Or e-mail me at tiptonsheryl@gmail.com - your home sounds wonderful and I've always wanted a house near the ocean.  Thanks, Sheryl

OMG!!! HAHAHHAHA!!! Could you imagine? Too funny. I know this is a longshot but...the thought of something like this working out just cracks me up. I'll e-mail you sheryl.

If you'd like to see some interior shots and read more about the house ...check out the home project threads here on the forum. http://coloreddiamon...t/home-projects/175/
It starts on post #89 with a write up. Our bedroom is post #114. If you read up, you'll see other details of our house.
PS: Pay no attention to Trinkette and diamondjunkie--they are just a couple of brats. LOL!

Woo hoo!  I didn't get put in the brat lineup!  This time.   

[djm195]

That's because you were the pot stirrer.

We are right there with all of you, hang in there-it will happen

[sherylsbuys]

You have a very lovely home.  I love the fireplace in your bedroom, and the very tasteful decorations throughout your home.  And you were wonderful in creating a custom, master closet for your wife!

But the balls in the toilet are the best!

Do you live on the East coast?

[Trinkette]

Balls, balls, balls! DJM just can't seem to get away from his balls. Honestly, they seem to be EVERYWHERE. I could say more, however, I'll let it go at that (I wouldn't want to be a BRAT or anything). 

[sherylsbuys]

I can understand him wanting to keep his balls - they are so cute and colorful!

shut up T

[oldmancoyote]

Ladies, please leave the gentleman's balls alone.

[Trinkette]

You may have them, OMC. 

[djm195]

T, you know you have my balls so stop playing dumb.

[oldmancoyote]

As Zsa Zsa Gabor (I believe) once said: "Men. They are all the same. Grab them by the balls, the rest will follow."

[Diamondsbylauren]

Of course, the man in question would have to actually have balls for that to work.....

Lyta- I'm putting the karma out there. You're gong to find someone who feels that stairs are a good way to stay young. They force you to work out.
(That's what I tell myself when I forget the keys in my bedroom, on the third floor, and I'm in the garage)
Seriously- don't let the negative stuff people say sway your knowledge of what you have, and it's assets.
Even if you have to accept a bit less than you want, my advice is to come from a position of strength.
You guys have great properties, right?

I have no objection whatsoever if someone wants to link to a house listing.

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you guys.

Thanks David! I have been away grinding my teeth and such at the bad timing I seem to have had. Right now we are in this dip where everything is selling a lot less than asking. Sheesh, it kills me that this house will go for so cheap. Another house went on the market a few days ago that is at what will be our new price with NO INSIDE photos. Hello? Plus a $4000 carpet allowance? Yikes I am dying to see what kind of scary place it is inside. Oh and they are going to include the chickens and chicken coop too if you want it! Hrmf.

So, now we are revisiting renting out our house instead of selling it. We shall see if the finances work out and if it's worth the liability of owning two homes. Any suggestions out there? Also, here is the link to our house so let me know what you think....

BTW, you guys are a HOOT! LOL!

[Lyta]

So, the showings on our home have been about as dead as the replies since I posted. I am just trying to get the word out and please share the info with anyone you know. A friend sold her house to another friend of mine on her mom's group so you never know where your buyer is going to be!

Here is my post on FB to the future owner of this house:

We are also having an open house on Sat 4/3 from 1 to 4pm. We are highly motivated to sell so we can move on with the new house that we are contingent on!

Did you lower the price?  Did you paint the inside a neutral color?  Are you offering the selling agent a bonus?  Is there a color brochure for your home?  Have you had an independent appraisal done?  Have you gotten any advice about how to set up the furniture and stage the home the way the professionals do?  Have you offered any incentives for a quick closing?  Are you offering a warranty with the sale (you can buy them for around $450)?  Some (but not all) of these things did help us to sell.

[Lyta]

We are on our 3rd and final price reduction.
No new paint but I did paint the master bath. It was in sorry shape.
Selling agent bonus, check.
Color brochure, check.
No appraisal.
No staging. We cleaned out as much as we could.
No incentives but we would if there were any offers.
No warranty.

If we were getting feedback that indicated that we needed to do any of this stuff then I would absolutely do it. The feedback has been about things we cannot change. The yard, the hill, the steep driveway, too many stairs, etc.
