Susan, it says it's priced for a quick sell. Maybe the owners need to unload it for some reason. There might be minor things that lower the price (I'm thinking one bathroom). Or it might be in line for major home type needs in the near future (like needing a new roof, or a new furnace, etc.) By lowering the price, the owner doesn't need to put that investment in the house to sell it.
But it means the buy should be prepared to scrape up the jack to do those updates sooner rather than later.
Around here, the typical reason for an unusally low price is foundation problems.
Aw, you guys are all so welcoming and nice. ::blush::
Anyone seen Kristin? She is my FAVORITE BUFFISTA EVAH!!!!!!!
Hey March... I need to talk to you. Yeah, over here near the water... that's right.. just step right this way.....
Ooooh! Shiny!
Around here, the one bath would knock down the price. Also, "Some of the original 1919 charm is intact" may refer to the HVAC system and wiring.
susan, what Betsy said.
Our old house was built in '23 and had been renovated a couple of times. This one was built in 1919, that might be part of it, may need some updating -- although old houses seem sturdier than new ones sometimes. It might also be that the owners are relocating and need to sell fast? It's a cute house though.
Hmm. It's not the best neighborhood in Seattle, but there really aren't any bad neighborhoods within the city limits by normal urban standards, IMO. And anything West Seattle is a little out of the way for someone who's gotten used to living where we do. We'd be closer to the ballpark but much further away from everything else. Lot might be tiny, and it wouldn't surprise me if it needs some not immediately obvious work and a good seismic retrofit.
But still. It's tempting.
I just can't figure out why it's going for that cheap. I mean, it's not falling down, and it's not a tacky ugly condo. Hellmouth in the basement?
It's in a neighborhood that's improving, but still not great.
The rough draft of the book is done
Yay! Double Yay! See, you can do it!
Does the front match the back, plotwise? Mine doesn't.
