[dba-Tech] Sold

Wow.  I assume the new buyers knew about that from the walk-through?

Subject: [dba-Tech] Sold

About a month ago one of our neighbours sold their house.

Upon checking, it had sold for about 250K below market value and we wondered
why. It is a fairly large house with five bedrooms and three bathrooms. We
have never been in the house other than in the entrance and in the kitchen
which we entered from the back porch.

The new neighbours have moved in and as they reported the house has had
major smoke damage...the previous people smoked inside the house. To that
end the new people, a couple of teachers with two kids, have gutted the
house. Every bathroom, the kitchen, the walls, all fixtures, the carpets and
other flooring has ended up in dumpsters. Now they are removing all the
windows and siding as well. Only the base frame will remain...I guess this
what happens to a house that the owners did not well maintain for thirty
years.

It will probably cost the $250K the new owners saved to make the house
livable again.
