We are ready to move on and buy.....................just have been waiting the market out here and now it's coming to us.

I have been looking at properties for over a year, receive daily updates in price adjustments and new listings. I know several people both trying to sell and 2 realtors long time in the business.

I do know some construction and am able to identify good construction from bad and most potential issues.

We DO like the house, but it does represent a lot of sweat and $$ over the next few years to return it to it's "former glory"

Of all the properties I have seriously looked into in the last 6 months it is the best overall investment at that price assuming he will bite.

I will keep you guiys posted..............going to work on the financial end now to shore up the offer.

Post a pic? Just curious to see what $320K buys elsewhere.

Out here, that kind of $$$ will buy you a real nice piece of property. (probably not in Phooeynix, though) Go to Realtor.com if you are interested in the prices of houses in different regions of the country.

Here 'Tis
