She put offers in on two houses over the weekend. Didn't get either. One was built in 1910, had 900 square feet, and needed a new roof, HVAC system, and complete electrical system in addition to some floor joist work. Asking price was $350k. Around here, a house like that would run you $40k in pristine condition, probably less than $20k in comparable condition. I don't have details on the other.
