It doesnt bother me that much...And as far as re sale goes...that wont be for awhile and there is PLENTY of space next to the 1 car now so you neve rknow, One might get added on in the future.

Damn, house prices must be fucking ridiculous.

Eh, Its Jersey Really.

I mean Compared to Michigan I'm sure the market is a Diff place...Houses here Dropped ALOT but the Higher End ones are still not That Low.

Our range is MAX 210,000 The one I posted is 205,900...We've looked at ones as low as 160,000 But they needed ALOT of work/and or were just shitholes and way to small.

Is this your first house? Getting a fixxer-upper isn't a bad idea if you are handy. Just remember to keep some money aside for landscaping and interior decorations (window coverings,blinds, paint,.... etc.

So the Seller Responded...we Offered 185,000 With Him Putting up 4k to Help offset closing costs...and he Scoffed at us and Said he wants full price...But our realtor pulled some info, House has been on the market for almost a full year he purchased it for 145,000 and Listed it for 250.000

Hes not happy he couldnt flip it b/c the market took a shit...

So we'll see...We just Re countered with 190,000 if he doesnt bite...We're moving on.

He paid $145K for it? How long ago and has he done anything to the house since buying it?
