Mike and Jeff's New House

The market here is flattening.........In today's market, this 900 sq. ft., 2 bedroom, 1 bath house just 50 feet from the freeway fence is worth $379,000..We missed the top of the market by 6-9 months and would have gotten at least $400,000 back then.....crazy...

Since moving into the new house we have largely been working next door on getting our old house ready to put onto the market....It now has a new roof, refinished hardwood, new vinyl floor in kitchen, lots of garden improvements, and on and one and on...... The old house went onto the market this past Friday, this past Sunday the realtor had an open house, we received an offer on Sunday night, we countered their offer on Monday night, they accepted on Monday night, we are going into escrow today (Tuesday.) It's a happy thing.... Here is a shot of the front courtyard that we had built this past weekend at the new house. Once we get the pre-cast concrete cap picked out, the mason will come back and install that. After the cap is in, they will apply stucco so that it matches the house color.
