Built a 9'x8' extension on our deck last night... I am very sore right now. Have to rebuild to deck stairs tonight. Getting ready to sell the house is a lot more work then I initially thought. The average sale is 18-24 months after the house is put on the market, my wife isn't happy.
I have seen houses go in less,.. like the realtor didn't get the sign in the ground fast.. but then I have seen some sit empty for two full years. just depends on the area, demand and interest.
Good luch though - been through one sale myself... it wasn't fun.

Right, where my wife is from the average sale is in 3-4 months so she isn't used to it. Around here it is significantly more. Not saying it won't go faster but just being prepared for the long haul as it were.
The good news is the second home market for people from NYC has skyrocketed in our area (again) and we have pretty much exactly what people are looking for as far as that goes.

Morning all. Trying to get back into the swing of things. So many posts to catch u p on from last week and posts to post about SpiceWorld2015. All with the nasty conference crud I of course picked up.
Got home after a 26 hour car ride at 3:30 pm yesterday. Oh so tired still. But so much fun!

Just waking up in Nicaragua. Gorgeous day.

Ouch. Hopefully that won't happen. We are in a very scenic part of the Catskills so second home/vacationers are buying property like crazy.

How hard have you been trying to sell though? and what do you think is the reason it isn't selling?

Helped someone with the heavy lifting part of moving house yesterday. A bit on the sore side this morning.
Nothing is as fun as moving house. <sarcasm />
My standard initial offer is $10 (for anything). How far am I out?

We are $150K under water on the house
The market collapsed in NY. No way to sell the house without an insane loss. -
Here is the kitchen / dining room / pool / fountain (yes it is running)...

Here you can see the balcony that overlooks the indoor pool...

Are there windows to keep the rain out? hard to tell from the pictures.

Nope, rains right into the house. If there is a storm that gets so bad that it is blowing rain into the middle of the kitchen or onto the table we can bring down those rolled up slat things, but only on the one side. There is no way to block off the outside to the part of the house facing the pool on the balcony / seating side of it.

Long view from the front door through the living room and into the dining room....
