My dream house well kinda

jojolin · The Naughty Bad Girl

Haha. I'm going to start addressing mail there to Soap Hoochie. Immediately. Teehee....

It looks great, Jess! I can't believe how reasonable housing is there! Let me tell you, that house would be over $400,000 here. Snap it up before someone beats you to the punch! Good luck.

Oh yeah I remember how much homes were up north and now that I'm looking at them down here I keep asking the realtors what is wrong wtih the houses because it's so odd for me to see something so nice under 300,000.00 I am sooo snatching it up as soon as possible, ok I do have to get my dad's ok on it but once he looks at it he'd be dumb not to love it.

Wow, up here in overpriced Massachusetts that house would go for at least $400,00, and if within 30 miles of Boston $600,000+.

Good luck! There's nothing like owning your own home, It'll be seventeen years for me next month. I bought mine when I was 24.

Start keeping your eyes out for yard sales, where you can pick-up yard care stuff. That stuff'll bankrupt you, but it's amazing the stuff you can pick-up for next to nothing at yard, garage and estate sales!

Looks like a quaint town And I love those big porches!

OH it is a very nice little town. There's maybe 12,000 people in town (that's being generous) and some of the streets are even still brick. There are tons of gorgeous old houses and we have a Christmas Tour every year where you go and visit these majetic old homes. I can't wait to have my own home. The only thing that I don't really really like about the house is the fact that the garage takes up over half of the yard. We'll have a carport for 2 cars and we don't need much more than that, so I think the Garage will either go or get minimized a bit so we can make room for a pool.

jojolin · The Naughty Bad Girl

Ooooh, pools are VERY expensive.

If you're serious about one of those, be prepared for the upkeep.

jessicad52178 · Jessica Almighty

LOL yeah good point ... maybe I could get a sexy pool boy.

my husband just told me that that house is about 4 hours from where he is from. Its always nice to look at these things because we dont know when he will be getting out.
thats a nice house

jessicad52178 · Jessica Almighty

Oh if you're ever looking for a house in a small town with nice neighbors this is deffinitely a good place.

I have a swimming pool, and I don't find it outrageously expensive. The biggest trick with pools, is to keep up with your chlorine level, and you should avoid serious problems. That and throwing some allgiside (spelling ??) into it once a week. I'd say I spend 20-30 dollars a month on chemicals, and it adds about $30.00 a month to my electric bill.

I call that very cheap for my afternoons spent floating around with my books. That's my heaven!!!!

jessicad52178 · Jessica Almighty

Oh I'm all for paying about 30.00 extra each month for the luxury of a pool.

kris · Twilight Posting Princess

i don't know what state/town you live it, but man, do you every get a lot of bang for your buck!!! i can't believe the size of the home & the price. my first thought was it must be a trash heap inside lol.

at that price it won't be around long so i'd get you & your dad over there for a look/see.

good luck!

Houses here go for about $300,000.

Does the house you're looking at need any work, what year was it built, how old is the furnace, make sure you have it inspected, especially the roof!

There are certain things that just make so much sense. Not to mention all the use it received when my daughter was a little tike. I bought it when she was 5-years-old, and let me tell you, it was a god send on those warm summer days.

Imagine.... Not having to get into the car to hit a beach or pool, just going into your backyard. I've also had some incredible parties myself with it! My sister just built a new house, and she had a pool at her old house. She has four sons, and she went crazy without the pool, she's getting one this year.
