WOW!

Just went to an estate sale up our street. The house went on the market on a Wednesday and sold the next day after being previewed by group of real estate salespeople. It was listed at the low price of $48,000 dollars. While I looked for lost treasures at the sale, I was able to go through every room and the one-car garage and still couldn’t find anything I wanted to buy.

However, here’s what you can get for 48 G’s in our community, a carpeted living room, a dining room, kitchen with appliances, two bedrooms, two complete baths, a family room, screened porch and garage.

Every room was filled with the accumulations of a couple in their 90’s who had either died or gone into a nursing home. Once the clutter is disposed of, and there was a lot of that, someone will have gotten themselves a very nice piece of property with an equally nice back yard.

Don’t know whether it was bought by an investor or someone looking for a good starter home. Either way, it makes our costlier and larger home decline in value, which is what’s happening throughout our community.

I hope when our heirs sell our property that market prices will have grown. One thing though, ours has been thoroughly renovated and won’t be filled with junk.
