Ohhhh, wow. My cousin just messaged me on Facebook to tell me that our grandmother's fabulous old home is on the market. My grandmother died about 6 years ago, and hadn't lived in the house for about 10 years prior to that... but I have such incredible memories of spending time in this home as I was growing up...

If you look passed the awful paneling in the kitchen (and I think that paneling actually looks kinda cool if you paint it), passed the industrial superthin shitty carpet, the lack of stove, and the fact that I'm pretty sure this house is a foreclosure...and this house has wicked potential.

The notice posted on the front window says "foreclosure" to me even though I can't read it. Stoves can be easy to find for cheap. Pull that icky carpet out and lay down some laminate. Paint. Poof. |

Yeah, the white notice in the window TOTALLY screams foreclosure. When the listing first went up it was 7k more than what it's listed at now. Those fuckers want to sell and they want to sell badly. I find out some time next week if I get to keep the full-time position that I'm in. If I get to keep it, I'll probably be starting the process cuz I really like the idea of that house. If I don't get to keep full-time then I'll stay in this stupid apartment with no outside space for the time being.

A few years ago, I was working hard to save money for a down payment on a place in Seattle. Got pre-qualified for a loan and even spent a few weekends with a realtor looking at condos. But the First Home Buyers loan I was expecting (it was a house key loan) fell through and I basically gave up. It's the primary reason I don't have a car right now--I was trying to save for the down payment and knew I wouldn't be able to afford the car after buying a place and paying for a mortgage. Anyway, my question is this and it really has nothing to do with everything I just said, but I'm random tonight and this is a special thread of real estate randomness so I'll ask anyway: my parents think it's crazy for a single person to want to own a house, but I don't want to live in a condo. I want land and a teeny tiny little house in the middle of nature. Do you think that's possible? Or just plain stupid.

I don't think it's crazy or silly and I think it's very possible. I'll tell you the same thing I tell everyone else right now - with interest rates as low as they are, it's crazy and silly not to buy right now if you can.
As for the house vs condo thing, condo sales right now are hard and I don't see that changing any time soon, so it would be very easy to buy a condo but probably very difficult to resell a condo in the future. You have a much better chance of getting your money back out of a house than you do back out of a condo. Not to mention, with single family home prices as low as they are, why share walls if you don't have to! We were talking about interest rates the other day (well, as we do most everyday because they are still freakishly low) and my lender sent me some info about how it can take as little as $44,000 of annual household income to qualify for a $250,000 mortgage. If you're even thinking about thinking about buying at some point in the future, it's a good time. |

I've been a single mom most of my adult life, and I've owned my own little houses with a little yard kinda place for most of it as well. I say absolutely go for it if you want to and can. There's no reason why a single woman shouldn't own a house. Heck, with the market what it is, I just closed on a short sale in Florida. The process was a total 7 month long nightmare, but the end result was great. Good luck to you!
