It was sold at State auction due to death of owner. I went on a Saturday Morning, about 58 degrees and raining. 4 bidders showed up, two left after finding out home was over 2,200 square ft. Other bidder had 74,000 available credit line through mortgage company, and could not raise after I bid $76,000. ! Woo HAAA! I STOLE IT! There was an open bid with no reserve even though they were hoping to get much more from it. I had to go pay insurance and taxes today. Sign final papers in the morning and will gain possesion tomorrow.


Here is a short clip the gf took while we were there. No, the boat is sold already!

Thats cheaper than some dirt...thatd be worth like $600k + in NJ

 

WOW, I am a full time Realtor in West Central Ohio. If that house were here, we could just put it back on the market and make some serious money. I hope you sleep well at night after the robbery you were just involved in.

 

I know. I didn't believe it either. I thought, well, something can't be right. They would never go through with it that cheap. With the state, and no reserve I lucked out big time. It has been appraised at $212,000 here. I am in one of the poorer counties in Ohio. So this is a very expensive home. Average income in this county is $21,000 per man. $15,550 for women. That tells you that housing is pretty cheap. New construction runs 85.00 - 95.00 per sq ft not including land. I feel like I have hit the lottery! I am a woodworker also on the side. The garages kick ***!

Thanks for the congrats guys!

 

Congrats on the house. That is a steal. The only thing that would buy here in Portland Oregon is a maybe small lot if ur lucky.

 

Congrats on becoming a Homeowner. Ive been househunting also, its been a MF'er.

 

Thanks,

Yes it has been a mf'er! I have looked at so many home's, and had actually paid for an apraisal and inspection on another home when I found this one. We signed this evening, and we will begin a few things beofre we move. (paint, carpet cleaning, and a good overall cleaning)

 

well i am fixing my house and will be puttin it up for sale in a few weeks, so anyone lookin to by i'll post up the ad once it gets listed.
