It Was A Day For Kissing Frogs...Yuck!

It Was A Day For Kissing Frogs...Yuck!

To find a prince of a house, you need to kiss a lot of frogs!

We headed out with high hopes, that one of the four houses we saw might turn into "the house" - the one that has the right shape

but maybe not the right interior, or kitchen...

or perhaps needed wallpaper removed...

or landscaping refreshed...

or even a bathroom gutted.

However, today's tours were like hitting the swamp - lots of frogs and no princes, no matter how many kisses!

We saw creative built in clocks:

And antique bathrooms:

Every house was like a time capsule...

Or it was painted salmon...

Or the basement wall looked like a giant sat on it.

But the encouraging thought is buyers looking for fixer uppers under $200,000 in our market

will probably save about $20,000 to $50,000 if they choose carefully

and do a lot of the work themselves.

Not a bad part-time moneymaker, if you ask me.

So today was not "the day" to find "the house"...

It was a day for kissing frogs...yuck!
