FR

[theworldofhelen]

Found out today that the house in Front Royal (FR) was put on the market at the beginning of November. It's priced at $83,900. It really makes me sick. I knew it would be less than what we paid ($239k), but I figured it would be more in the $100-$120k range. It also angers me that the bank wouldn't bother to refinance our loan and keep us in the house. They're wasting and losing more money by paying us $2k to move out, having to pay the real estate agent who's selling the house, and not to mention winterizing the house. So now the house has been sitting empty since Sept 4, and they're getting NO income from it. We saw the house across the street from the FR house go into foreclosure and sit on the market for almost a year. And the market isn't any better now.

On the other hand, I really like living in a rental. I don't have to worry about maintenance, unless it's something simple, and the landlord reimburses us. It's a lot less worry than actually owning a home. I don't think I want to live in a rental for the rest of my life, but I definitely do NOT want to own another single family home. That is, unless I have loads of money to hire a grounds keeper, maid, & repairman. :)

That's unfortunately the only news for today. Working from home & having no car during the day, leaves me with no excitement.

Oh, one last thing. Happy, HAPPY BIRTHDAY to ioevri1! I hope you're feeling better and can at least enjoy part of your day. *hugs*
