instead i am gazing longingly at my dream home. just got listed, and i am completely obsessed... the hardwood floors, the exposed brick, the fact that it's a few blocks from the town center... *drool* it's on the high end of my price range, but hubba hubba... i LURV it. i want to marry it, i love it so much. i sent a frantic e-mail to my realtor this morning, asking about it... i was basically like, "can we go see this house RIGHT NOW???? what info can you get on it????" crossing my fingers that i can take a peek this weekend...

i told my boss that i'm going to start a side job... i'm going to let house-sellers hire me to make over their homes before they go on the market. the photos of some of these places are staggering, with all of the knickknacks/too-big furniture/floral EVERYTHING, you can't even focus on what the structure of each room is. eek.

NICE house!

HOUSES are expensive there.. wow!

The market here is HIGH right now.. definately a sellers market and not a buyers market.

to me, it's a bargain... in the town i lived in up in MA, that house would easily for for 800K or higher. scary.

Hehe...I was thinking, "man, houses are cheap there!" That would be at least 700-800k here, probably more.

The thing is... realtors will tell you that furnished houses sell much faster.

I think I bought my house in part because it was completely UNfurnished when I saw it, and I liked that lots better.

The fact that I left it mostly unfurnished for 7 years is beside the point. ;)

i can see where some people would want to see a furnished house... but there have been houses i've looked at, in person and online, where there is just so much going on visually i think i'm going to have a seizure. like, a floral couch and chair with floral wallpaper, and fake flowers on every available surface. ack.
