The front yard is totally overgrown with weeds, so it appears the bank isn't really trying to sell it! It didn't look so bad just peering through the windows, so I appreciate hearing about all the "issues" from someone who's been inside.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4113767199444444516.post-10584601801198687342008-07-30T12:57:00.000-07:002008-07-30T12:57:00.000-07:00I looked at this house in late-June and wow, is it...I looked at this house in late-June and wow, is it overpriced still (even with the reduction since this original post). The kitchen had a hole in the floor; apparently the prior DIYers didn't lay down a subfloor before putting down the hardwood floor. Also, the thermostat was a melted chunk of plastic sitting on the kitchen counter. It had a water leak and there was water and fire damage on that wall. Clearly there are issues with this house.

I wish I was on this bank's board of directors, I would make sure the CEO had some sleepless nights for hoarding overpriced property on the books for so many months.Kirk Coburnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09400988560187183645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4113767199444444516.post-7110622363439975582008-04-24T14:02:00.000-07:002008-04-24T14:02:00.000-07:00"I think the realistic price for it is mid 4s mayb..."I think the realistic price for it is mid 4s maybe."<BR/><BR/>Can you pass the bong dude.

I live right near there, so see it virtually every day. I'm not sure the person who paid 574K for it ever even lived there, to be honest. I think the realistic price for it is mid 4s maybe. Don't know what the hell the bank was thinking letting someone pay 574K for that.
