And then there’s this idea I heard on Marketplace on NPR last Friday that doesn’t sound half-bad.Â
And yeah, I have real estate on my mind ’cause we’re just about to put our house back on the market for another round of “Buy Our House!” We’re in the middle of updating the place with new countertops, paint, and other things that we hope will attract buyers. The new countertops look great (I’ll post some pictures later), and the painters are supposed to start and complete the job in one day (starting tomorrow). It’s all pretty chaotic right now, but hopefully everything will be ready to go for the broker’s tour next Tuesday!

Yes, please post pictures! Best of luck in selling your place quickly.
I’ve been thinking about that lately…about how if the loaning industry were acting responsibly, housing prices wouldn’t have gotten so overheated. And if they weren’t so overheated, our house wouldn’t be worth as much, which would mean more first time home buyers might be able to afford it…and the house we’re buying wouldn’t be worth so much, which would mean we wouldn’t be paying such high property taxes.
Stupid mortgage companies.
It sure is going to be busy around here for the next week. Sigh.
I bet your new countertops are very nice! Good luck on selling!!
Can’t wait to see your place all put back together and back on THE MARKET!
You know I’m taking notes!
Good luck with the house. Yep it is as “Handy” says. I always questioned the hedge funds investments.
Hopefully you will get that house out from under you soon! In the meantime, interest rates are falling, which is good news for you!
