I am happy but i am sad and depressed too.

I bought a house in january for 132,000 bucks. pretty good buy i thought.
well I accepted an offer last night after six months here of 155,000.
I just went and witnessed an auction for a house of my size that had never been touched since it was built. Good solid brick home in a great neighborhood(better than mine). but totally needed redone inside..
It auctioned off at 187,000 bucks.
so, I went from being all giddy inside for making some change on my house to thinking i just gave that guy a great deal..

anyhow..

23 grand return of a house that's owned for 6 months is really impressive, dude

In Woodward? Dayamn!

Dude, that's a 34% annual return. You scored big time.

I guess I should be really happy and move on..

Yes. Good idea.

bulls and bears make money

[TheHumanAlphabet]

auctions typocally overprice a house or anything...People get caught up in the frenzy and over pay, that's why there are auctions.

I bet you got a more realistic value and the guy that paid 187,000 way overpaid and may never see that returned...

[BajaOklahoma]

Geez, read between the lines. Martin is sad because his wife will soon be joining him.

[oumartin]

oh now that was funny Baja!

Little tiny shacks here in Podunk, southwest of Orlando, are going for $200,000+. Absolutely ridiculous. What I wouldn't give to see a REAL house, like back home...a BRICK one. All this cinderblock and sherbet stucco really SUCKS.
