Home'scool Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) It is beautiful! And I want your landscape artist! It was the builder's home so he tricked the house out completely. It has beautiful stone walls and the landscaping always has something in bloom. There is a back walkway is lined with about 10 hydrangea bushes and gorgeous flowering trees in the front. We had taken pictures one spring just in case we sold in the winter so we could at least showcase the landscaping. The house should make some family very happy.

Home'scool Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 2017 Where is all your stuff? I moved out a year ago. My husband still lives there but I think he spends most of his time at his new chickies house. We have been slowly clearing and decluttering everything. Everything is pretty much out by now. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squawky Acres Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 (edited) Ooh, this is very nice. Do you have a link to the actual listing? We are in the market for a home close to Boston -- although we have been looking more to the North. ETA -- I'm sorry. I just realized you can't post a link for privacy reasons. It is a beautiful house, and I love how it has a center chimney and so many custom details. I'm sure it will sell very quickly.

Jaybee Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 It's a beautiful house. I can't help but think this must be hard on you, though, even while you are glad it is finally on the market. :grouphug: :grouphug: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gotta admit though, I'm really unused to seeing the prices on houses in HCOL areas... any house selling for that price around here... well, I'm not sure there are any at that price! Ok, I just googled. There are some 500K places in a lake front community nearby, but in general 400s are as high as we go and the average listing price in our area is very near 200K. It's amazing how different house prices are across our country! Nonetheless - wishing you a speedy sale! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bibiche Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 (edited) It's amazing how different house prices are across our country! It is pretty amazing.

(and that was four years ago.) Her beautiful house is a steal! :) And if her house were in San Francisco or Vancouver or NYC... imagine the price then... talk about a steal! It definitely makes it easier to understand how folks with similar salaries/incomes don't have as much money for other things (thinking college or travel or whatever else comes up in threads) in some areas as others - though I suppose the trade off is more equity built up if/when one sells - a savings account of sorts if one chooses to sell or get a reverse mortgage or something later in life. It also makes it easier to understand how some are priced out of ownership entirely in HCOL areas. Just musing - the bottom line is I hope the house sells soon for the OP. It certainly is a nice one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing how different house prices are across our country! Nonetheless - wishing you a speedy sale! It is interesting, but salaries are also interesting. We took a HUGE cut to move from CA to NC. Like not only did DH take almost a 40% cut, but then I stopped working. It was tight for a while. He is now back up (12 years later) and with several promotions, back up to his CA salary. But moving back would net us a lot more since he has moved up the ladder. For me, I am currently making a bit over half of what I made in CA. We are looking at moving back next year. We know we will get about half the house for about twice the price (of our current house) but our salaries will be better, so we should be ok. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Home'scool Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 If my house was on the market in the town I work in the price would be closer to one million. So much depends on the zip code! The town where the house is is a very nice town, it is just 20 minutes further outside of Boston than the more expensive towns. That makes a difference in the price. The commute can be hell. Also, it is in a very large subdivision with other houses for sale so there is some competition there. The price is probably a bit low but I want a fast sale. We have enough equity and it is time I have my life back! 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarlett Posted March 28, 2017 Share Posted March 28, 2017 That is a beautiful house. I hope it sells quickly so you can move on completely. In my experience having the house hanging over my head really slowed down my healing post divorce. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Home'scool Posted April 3, 2017 Author Share Posted April 3, 2017 Had our first open house this weekend. People came through both days even though Saturday was a rainy, sleety mess. We got the usual mix of good and bad feedback. Getting the bad feedback makes me so anxious! It's only been on the market for a week but right away I start fretting that the house will never sell. I hate selling a house! People come through and examine every little thing - as I do when I am the buyer - but it just makes me nervous that there will never be anyone happy enough with the house. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
