Apology #3
I apologize to John Dirgo and other Mazda Tribute owners for implying that their cars suck.
****************
Well, if they would give the buyers a new Kirby when they bought the DH houses, now THAT would truly suck!
***********
I think the land prices are going down and there seem to be strange land sales starting to happen.
The house directly next to us sold at auction about a month ago and they got a much lower price than I would have expected for it. It is an old plantation manager's house and they only got $401K for a final bid and there were only about three bidders. It wasn't a very well advertised auction at all. However, at the "confirmation hearing" (which was several weeks after the auction), one of the two sellers showed up at the hearing to reopen the bidding (which was allowable if they upped the price by 5% or more) and bought it for the $401K plus 5%. The rumor is she then tried to sell for a higher price but there weren't any takers so now she is going to try to rent it out.
It was a forced auction since the couple broke up and couldn't agree on how to sell the house and who got how much afterwards. Of course, being a divorce sale might be what is making it a different sort of sale.
Aren't houses fun?
A hui hou!
