I went to see many homes in Riverbend yesterday including this one (the bank foreclosure was fun to guess what they might accept as an offer

)

I would say that the type of renters you have and the state of the house (and garage) that the renters have the home in really do diminish the likeliness I will even give this place a first thought let along a second (probably not the smartest on my part but it is what it is). Also a huge dog in the home also doesnt show well.

Love that it backed onto the park but was hard to see the forest through the trees with that house.

We are going to second showings on 2 different homes tonight and likely write an offer tonight or tomorrow.

The psych of buying a home is really crazy. You see about 50 properties most in the SW north of Glenmore and you look in Riverbend and you see 1 for 460K that if it was in the SW we would have wrote an offer last night. Yet you then see a house for $520K that needs about 20K of flooring work on the main floor and upper level and you sit and wondering what kind of price the $520K home would be willing to sell for.
