Did you ever live in this house. There now its about the house.

[Posihead]

Did you ever live there.

That's not a question about the house, but yes.

[devlish]

That's not a question about the house, but yes.

ok. i'll pass

actualy, it is a corner lot on the corner of Porter?? a friend of mine used to live on GreenTree i think back in gradeschool! not that it matters, just thought i'd clutter your thread.

[devlish]

just a pic of the front of house. NOT the same one.

[matt]

So its assessed at $130,000... and she wants $162,000?

A 40 year old house with a small lot and only 1800 sq ft with 2 bedrooms in that condition is not worth her asking price.

A 40 year old house with a small lot and only 1800 sq ft with 2 bedrooms in that condition is not worth her asking price.

The property was assessed when purchased. Properties are reassessed every time they are sold. The house assessment is from 2002 when the home was bought by my Mother, so that's why it's at $130,000, and yes, she wants $162,000 because that was the value set by a certified independent third party appraiser. It's close to a half acre and is one of the biggest, if not the biggest lot in that neighborhood. It is technically 3 bedrooms, but can not be legally listed as 3 bedrooms due to one of the bedrooms being in the basement. You must have an egress window is the basement in order to have the room listed as a bedroom. What do you mean by "in that condition"? Everything in and on the house in either new or updated! It IS worth her asking price!

Please do some more research before sounding stupid again... Thanks

[VPT]

Sorry but that is over priced. That is still at best a 130K house.

[Posihead]

Sorry but that is over priced. That is still at best a 130K house.

It was a 130k house 8 years ago...

[VPT]

And the housing market has crashed since.

Oh, so you dont actually want to sell the house, you just want to advertise that its "for sale"


got it.

[Posihead]

Nope, would love to sell the house, I was just simply explaining to you how things work seeing that you incorrectly came off as attempting to know more than the professionals without the proper attained knowledge or asking simple intelligent questions.

[mrslysly]

Seen houses in marshfield that were valued at 190k even a few years ago go for $140k now. More supply than demand. Great for buyers.

[Posihead]

And the housing market has crashed since.

I'm aware of that fact, and the house would be listed at a higher price if it wasn't for that fact.

[Posihead]

Yeah, it's a buyers market, but what sucks about that, is a lot of the buyers in that market are also sellers at the same time... Win/Lose...

[matt]

you incorrectly came off as attempting to know more than the professionals without the proper attained knowledge or asking simple intelligent questions.

You make a lot of assumptions, don't you...

Quite frankly, I'm glad she listed her house high. It makes it much easier to sell my houses in the area if others around mine are overpriced.

[Posihead]

Saying that you used an outdated assessment from 2002 was not an assumption...

[plainrt]

160k for a double wide?

[Posihead]

160k for a double wide?

Yeah, and it comes with a dismantled Dodge Neon in the basement! No, it's not a POS double wide, take your dumb comments elsewhere.

[northsydryd]

it comes with a dismantled Dodge Neon in the basement!

lmao

[BLAQK]

is it just me or is that link for a completely different house?

and you cant just button on a few garage doors and call it "not a double wide" it is %100 for sure a double wide

done w this thread

posi, you cant honestly even attempt to do anything serious on this board, every thread you touch turns to shit. Not to mention the ones you start...

[ZXTUNER]

The link was a different house because some stupid assbag admin changed it! IT'S NOW FIXED BACK TO THE WAY IT WAS ORIGINALLY! It's 100% for sure not a god damn double wide, wtf, are you fricken blind or dumb or both??? If you don't want my thread to turn to shit, then stay the fuck out! WOW, get bent!

Any more idiots want to comment, for fucks sake!

[matt]

Did her realtor pull any sold comps or anything to show her?

[Posihead]

Did her realtor pull any sold comps or anything to show her?

Yes, why?

[matt]

Did she price it the way she did because that's what SHE thinks its worth or is that what the REALTORS think its worth?

[Posihead]

Did she price it the way she did because that's what SHE thinks its worth or is that what the REALTORS think its worth?

Neither actually. If you go back to post #7, I said this: she wants $162,000 because that was the value set by a certified independent third party appraiser.

[matt]

That explains it.

Let me guess, it was done by ABC or Richardson?

[Posihead]

That explains it.

Let me guess, it was done by ABC or Richardson?

I really don't know who appraised it, but I will find out and let you know! I know that the realty company that it's listed with gave her a price as well as the realty company that she bought it from 8 years ago, and they were both around the same price as the appraiser...

[matt]

yep already saw all that on the MLS.

[devlish]

the asking price seems about right to me. having just bought a house and looked for quite a while... I know you do a lot of house stuff as well matt, but with the home research i did, the asking price seems fair. everybody asks a little over what they really expect to get.

i did, however, have an offer OVER my asking price when i sold my house! but i settled on a $1000 less than asking from the other offer. can't complain about that. after only those 2 showings as well. makes me think i should have been a few G's higher! ha
