Just Simply Holly

Well, the For Sale sign arrived in our front yard on Wednesday. As soon as I seen it I logged onto the website it listed so that I could check out the actual listing for the house. I was kind of shocked when I found it! First, they listed the house as being in a different school district than it actually is, which will make a HUGE difference to someone that wants to buy it. The one that they have it listed in is a much better school district than the one it is actually in. I did call the realtor to let him know about this, in case they listed it in the wrong school by mistake!

The land lord is cracking me up though, not in a bad way really, but his thoughts on things that he should do to possibly try and help the house sell make no sense to me. For starters, the sink sits in a 12 foot length of kitchen counter top and both of them DESPARATELY need to be replaced! The counter is that old white Formica stuff with the gold dots or flecks in it, you know, that stuff that was UBER popular in the 70’s? And the sink is a white porcelain sink that’s GROSS! But rather than think about replacing either of those, he’s just going to replace the kitchen faucets instead. UMMMMM….OK, the faucets do need to be replaced, but that will just make the counter and sinks look that much worse!

I guess I can understand that he’s trying to make small, inexpensive repairs rather than more costly ones, but it honestly makes no sense to me at all! Then again, maybe it’s not for me to understand. Besides the strange repairs he’s also asking quite a chunk of money for the property, way more than the going rate for houses in this area that are in MUCH better shape! Anyway, I’m just hoping it honestly doesn’t sell, or at least not quickly, I guess only time will tell!
