She and her husband, an elderly couple, did Extensive renovating of their home and notice the capital E. Not long after the workmen finished, the guy dropped dead, literally. The widow put the home up for sale but of course there are no takers at the price they're forced to advertise for. And the house is empty too. Don't know where the widow went, but she obviously didn't want to stay in the house.<br /><br />I guess that's probably not the kind of story to be telling you, but it's one of those things could be worse, I guess. My brainstorm--a guy named Urban is interested in buying your home.Big Dave Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18363712781308133633noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17516221.post-82247051737545546202011-12-08T17:56:52.601-05:002011-12-08T17:56:52.601-05:00Cinderella, I am going to post soon.

It's every bit as unpleasant as everyone said it would be, only worse, especially in such a small house. I have photos. <br /><br />Hugs,<br />BettyB.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/08724883690591213622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17516221.post-21279991078035306262011-12-01T18:07:57.888-05:002011-12-01T18:07:57.888-05:00Dear B,
I am scared for you. Something doesn't...Dear B,<br />I am scared for you. Something doesn't feel right.<br /><br />Every gut instinct that I have says that since you have tidied up the landscaping outside - and tidies up inside so everything is all neat and organized, that this is ONLY a price issue at this point.<br /><br />I don't think redoing the kitchen will make that much of a difference in an older home because you still have older bathrooms and older closets. <br /><br />You'd have to spend so much money it just doesn't seem to make sense.<br /><br /><br />Why not take it off the market until January - and then lower the asking price by the amount you were going to spend on the kitchen - and see if someone is interested then?<br /><br />It's a really tough market right now, since the economy is so blah.<br />But price is everything, even in a tough market.<br /><br />Will cross my fingers for you, and hope for the best, with whatever you choose to do.<br /><br />((hugs))Cinderellahttp://www.cinderella11pm.comnoreply@blogger.com
