magnum magnumOG 2001

wow there is no house on long island that cheap anymore unless you want to live next to a crack house. Im buying it up! NJ here i come!

iwz iwz

yeah.. have to head out west to get into our price range. stinks for my commute tho

magnum magnumOG 2001

duh just get a helicopter!

yay yayOG 2004

nice! i love cape cods, and it looks like it's got some great yardage

hunkpapap hunkpapapOG 2003

Yoda has a cape too. If you get it and it needs work, we should do an eZabel work day...

That's so cute!!! Natural gas = cheapest fuel available. That's a +

thefunkyfresh thefunkyfreshFounder

pretty nice! how much are you offering? i'm gonna undercut you

iwz iwz

$100,000. i dare you

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003

that's cute! and i was gonna say HOLY NORTH JERSEY PRICES but i guess it's cheap for that area? wow. Move down here you can get a house for under 200. But yeah your commute would be a little rough.

You think that's bad, try this: http://www.realtor.com/Prop/1061167745?lnksrc=00045 for price shock.

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003

dang, that stinks, i'm never gonna live in california at that rate haha

iwz iwz

yeah, that's a lot of money. the price on this house is very very good. most other houses in the area are in worse shape and asking $20k more. head east towards NYC and it's a totally different story, ugh. SO much more.

Looks really cute. You planning on doing anything to it if you get it?

iwz iwz

it really doesn't need a lot of work, which is great.

coupla things that would be nice would be to bring the front door out to have an enclosed entrance way with some closets. dormers on the front. finish off part of the basement. central air (which may be hard in a cape cod).

alas, none of those things are in the budget.

mandie mandieOG 2001

holy moly that's cheap???!!!?!?!?! wowza..yeah we aren't moving to jersey anytime soon. We bought our house right before it foreclosed for 35,000. granted it was a super great deal that doesn't come along very often, but still...

iwz iwz

haha, you should see what you get in NJ for $35,000. let's just say it MIGHT have a roof. definitely no floor or foundation tho.

Where's that at? That sounds like it might be a good place to invest...

cute cute! just remember: you don't have to do everything all at once. as long as it's livable, take your time and fix it up how you want it. :)

iwz iwz

it's in really really nice shape. definitely move-in ready. only thing we'd want to do is replace the windows, but they're fine right now, maybe just not as effecient as new ones.

fivezero fivezeroOG 2003

awesome lil place. i hope all goes well.

juicymango juicymangoOG 2003

ohhh attached sun porch that is my DREAMMMMMMMMMMm

englandkid englandkidOG 2003

VERY NICE! (you would be painting it right? lol)

iwz iwz

haha yeah, mikayla already has some ideas

englandkid englandkidOG 2003

ok good, i knew i liked her!

tesoro tesoroOG 2001

of course everyone likes to paint when they move in a new place, but i didnt notice anything that needed it.

super cute house!

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

That's really exciting, Ian, and totally a super cute house!

tesoro tesoroOG 2001

haha, i just realized i said the exact same thing as you..."super cute house"

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

And it's such a silly way to describe a house when one is considering buying it. "Super cute puppy" or "Super cute boy" even works better. I apply cute to everything but Ian, the house is cute to the super degree.

iwz iwz

my feelings are hurt now

thatdarngirl thatdarngirlOG 2002

Why?

iwz iwz

I apply cute to everything but Ian
