Another house that looks promising

I always have the nagging thought that in buying another house, I'll be going from the frying pan into the fire. And who would buy my house?

I'll buy it, but only if a Sony Bravia TV & a slow-closing toilet seat are included.

But from my perspective, it sounds like your criticizing me for not jumping right in and buying a house that I may not like.

No, I was not doing that-criticizing you-I actually was explaining your position in my own words because I am not you. I looked at several houses, and rejected them till my husband was ready to throttle me. I tried to reject this money pit of a house as well. I support apartment living.

If you remember, I said “no stairs” to that last house. I am fully supportive of you looking as long as you want, and buying or not buying. After all, we are not married. 😁

I am signed up on Zillow to be notified when properties in my locale become available. I just received this. Not many pictures of the interior of teh house, so it's probably a train wreck. Appears like they are emphasizing the land (which looks like a swamp in one photo).

Yes but you don’t actually see the stairs in it. You don’t see any of the inside. The only stairs almost seen are the ones leading to the front door.

The windows look like they need replacing as well as the side door. There may be lots of land but unless Deb is going to become a farmer or rent it out, it’s useless to her. The house has no protection from strong winds or the sun so would cost a lot for cooling & heating. But YES if there are stairs, there certainly are too many of them. Lol

Yeah, yeah.... mean old Keesha. 🤪😎

And quite often these types of houses are modular homes meaning they are built in warehouses with climate , weather control, making them a better built home. Not sure if this is but that’s perfect for an older single person. All on one floor with a beautiful treed lot. Weather and nosy neighbour protection. Lol
 
Stairs, ugh, orginial cabinets, deck looks like it’s not stable, windows need replacing- I like the house but it’s not move in ready. Looks like a money pit
edit, electric heating will cost a fortune
 
That's what I want, a fresh-look opinion. Others can catch things I might miss. One thing that disturbed me was that the shower curtain was pulled shut and no photos of the tub. What are they hiding?
