On top of every other bad thing we've done, no one wants the fixer upper anymore.
My parents bought a house with a working toilet in the living room. It was $14,000. Water frontage at that.
So, along with the toilet in the living room, it kind of had a kitchen, not a lick of insulation in the place and I kind of remember this skanky orange carpet in the front hall.
We painted during summers. They re-did the front hall(no skank) when I was about 4. The kitchen was a big one. Mom finally had her big country kitchen she wanted.
The point here is, it was a fixer upper in every way possible. They didn't buy it to make it big in real estate, or flip for big bucks.
They bought it to raise kids and live in.
Now?
Granite counters please, and whats the warranty again? OMG...that lawn will take like 20 minutes to cut.
Hey, it's 600,000...that totally sounds reasonable! Sign me the fuck up. We were buying these things on 40 year mortgages, and now we're back to 25...think that moved the price? No!
