More Dreams . . .

I don't know why I continue to do it - but I do.  On a semi-regular basis I check online for my grandmother's house.  Not long ago (Feb. 10) the house was listed for sale in foreclosure for $14,500 - yes really!  Today I checked and it's again for sale - this time for $44,500. Still not a horrible price - so I read the description - and it said that there was a new roof, paint and siding - but a check of the pictures showed NONE of that - so someone isn't being honest - I would hate that the siding was replaced - I understand it but would hate it.  New roof for sure!  And paint goes without saying!

Humm - wonder if I bought it could I take an old picture and have the siding copied??  Such silly thoughts - but I do love that house!

So Sad . . . .

This was my grandmother's house (and before that my great-grandparent's house).

My grandmother has been gone for a long time - and I've watched the house from afar - a few years ago it was listed for $130,000.   In January (this year) I saw it was in foreclosure and listed for $29,000.

Today I checked (I was REALLY tempted at $29,000!) and saw this:

110 College St Holly MI 48442

4 beds, 1.0 baths, 1,462 sq ft

Close

Recently Sold: $14,150

Really??? $14,150????  I'm really tempted to contact the new owner and offer $20,000 to see if they'll take it.  I know the house will/does need a lot of work - but I've always loved that house - and I've paid more for a car than this person did for this house.

SAD . . . I'm very sad.
