Don't you just HATE finding your dream house...

at the WRONG time!!! AAAARRRGGHHH!!!! I found the house and land that I absolutely LOVE, in a GREAT location, but it's out of my stinking price range at this time. I'm sure I could afford it in about 5 years, but it's on the market NOW. Dammit!!!!!

Yea that bites...then you wish you never saw it cause it haunts ya...had the same thing happen just a few weeks ago,such a cool house-like a 200 yr. old stone colonial with a small add., all updated,well kept,w/ a nice big barn/stable type garage,decent amount of ground and in the coolest area of woods,well off the main roads,but also just out of our price range:cursin:

Don't let it bother you... in this market it will be up for sale again in 5yrs anyway....

Too true!

Give me a minute, I'll send you a picture of the house that I've been looking at but someone already has a bid on it :cursin:

:sorry: Bro. Maybe this will cheer you up...http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m95/markgraves138/smilies/fruitsex.gif

Been there done that. Ive been looking at houses for 2 years and I know exactly what you mean.

But the new R6 is ALWAYS on sale at the RIGHT time. :wink:

But the new R6 is ALWAYS on sale at the RIGHT time. :wink: I would tend to agree with that.

nice, whats a place like that go for up there? i was going to ask the same question... that and does it have a basement or is it just built on a slab foundation... central air and vac or not... Up in MA something like that would be around $800,000 with the amount of land seen in the pic near worcester...to over a million mill + 1/2 if it were closer to boston/needham/stowe area..

It was listed for $265K 5 full bedrooms, 2 1/2 baths, huge family room, eat in kitchen formal living room, formal dining room, three car garage no basement but 3 bedrooms up stairs

Ive been looking there. One of my coworkers just bought a huge house in Bainbridge for just over 240k. I think its close to 3k sq ft.

I clean air duct work for a living, and I run into at least one house per week I fall in love with! Ah well, till I can afford the right one, ill just love the piece of **** I have now... upstares bedroom in my parents place! LOL

That's a sweet house CBR... I understand your love for it... but being from michigan... no basement is a clincher against the house... I have to have a basement.

I have to have a basement. don't forget a garage both garage and basement are the quenessential man space which is important to me because i have much man paraphenalia such as a bike, tools, racing posters, various souvenirs from race spectating, pooltable, etc. you can always tell a badly whipped man when his wife not only has the entire house decorated but has a bunch of her girlie junk in the basement and garage.

:jacked: oh by the way sorry you can't buy the house.

True! And I highly prefer attached garages... when I'm doing projects I must go in & out of my garage a hundred times. Sometimes wearing just boxers, t-shirt, and slippers.... that wouldn't be much fun if I had to walk to the garage thru the snow!

Right now, I can live without a basement, but would HATE to live without a garage.

Don't let it bother you... in this market it will be up for sale again in 5yrs anyway.... In today's market why not make a bid that you like? They may be desperate to sell.

That's a sweet house CBR... I understand your love for it... but being from michigan... no basement is a clincher against the house... I have to have a basement. I'm the same way being from ST. Louis......I grew up with basements and that's why is so hard for me to find a house that I really like because they don't have basements in the homes around here.

Whats the sqft on that place?

Not sure, I'll check on in and post it later. I can say this much though, it's very roomy inside :dthumb:

I'm gonna say over 2500 sq ft. Oh it's bigger than that. If I was to guess I would say something like 3000 sq ft but I'll find out for sure.

Oh it's bigger than that. If I was to guess I would say something like 3500 sq ft but I'll find out for sure. Hence "over".

Oh it's bigger than that. If I was to guess I would say something like 3000 sq ft but I'll find out for sure. That would go for close to $500K here.

That would go for close to $500K here. That's why I don't ever plan on moving from Georgia......

That would go for close to $500K here. Well over 500K here.

True! And I highly prefer attached garages... when I'm doing projects I must go in & out of my garage a hundred times. Sometimes wearing just boxers, t-shirt, and slippers.... that wouldn't be much fun if I had to walk to the garage thru the snow! All that and crawl spaces suck. Id hate them if it wernt for the fact that I get big $$ commisions when ever I have to go into one to get to the duct work!!

that house would go for at least 800K here...shoot, lil houses at about 1300 sq ft go for 250k around here!! ...i dont feel the need for a basement tho...i grew up in Texas/Oklahoma area and lived in ATL before moving down to FL, never had a basement (tho we did have a storm cellar in midwest...) but hubby has the garage mostly to himself cept for my bike stuff, so i guess that is his "manly" area! :lol:

Im almost in the market for a new pad. Strangely enough. Lots of deals popping up on nice places. To bad I cant do any thing about it right now.
