House #50: First Contract

November 12, 2013

House #51 has been listed for just over a month, and the early feedback was that it was overpriced (we’re getting into the slow time of the year for house sales and it’s getting cold in Milwaukee, where this house is). So, we did two quick price drops over about 2 weeks, and over the […]

The WI-4 House has been listed for nearly 4 months now, without a solid offer. We’ve received several low-ball offers, but nothing that we’ve been willing to accept.

But, the rest of the project was cosmetic — redoing the 1.5 baths, updating the kitchen, new roof, interior/exterior paint, new fixtures, etc. We […]
