Quick Update

Thursday, October 18, 2007

Many have been asking how the housing / condo thing has been going. With the lien on the new complex holding things up, I’ve started looking around (again!) for other options.
Really, there are only 2 other options, both for more money. One is a new 2 bed / 2 bath condo in Post Falls, for $16,000 more than what I’m getting here, and another condo here in town (2 bed / 2 bath) listed for $21,000 more. This second one, however, has been on the market for almost a year (started at $150,000, now $130,000) and might entertain an offer less. It has a handicap bathroom and some other things that, in my view, detract from its value.
But I can’t make an offer on either of these, until Oct 23, when my contract with the realtor w/ the first condo expires (he hasn’t been much help, and I don’t want to go through him, also, I don’t want to rock the boat on the first option I have - I want to keep that first condo option open for now, as it’s my cheapest route.)
That all clear as mud?
Thanks for your prayers in all of this!

Oh, the good news. I did get my washer / dryer / fridge!
