Maybe Smokey can help....

actually, Smokey is not responsible for houses.
might check with CDF though....
If you drive the nicest car in the neighborhood, work in a cash business, and don't pay taxes, you're either a preacher or a drug dealer...

Cute house!  Front yard looks good.  Is that black carpet on the stairs?  Where is the path leading to the door?  Trim the bushes a bit. 


Black indoor/outdoor carpet.  I put it in to replace yucky green carpet that was there, and had some moss growing on it.

There is no path to the door as the front door never gets used.  I'll keep the flagstone idea in mind though.

Bushes have been trimmed.

Concrete needs major repair to the garage.  Guesthouse is a possible good idea. Depends on your market?       

Tough time to sell with winter coming!

Good luck!

The concrete is perspective I suppose.  It's been that way for the 8 years I lived there and it never bothered me.  Concrete work here is mega expensive so I never considered it!

The housing market here has not experienced a decline even when the rest of the nation was in the midst of a real estate apocalypse.

At first I thought the same about winter coming, but when I bought the place, we put the contract in place at the end of october and I was able to move in mid January ;)

Fingers crossed.

Make sure you talk to your accountant about your tax liability from the sale before you start converting other assets into a Roth during 2010. But good on ya'!

Well, If you're talking about capitol gains, I will escape those.

Sale was under 250k is the one that let me out of that.
