Just got this from my mother-in-law in the Upper Penninsula of
Michigan ("yoo-pers"):"We had friends from California come look at houses here. They may move here at the end of May. We looked at foreclosers. One home valued at $269,000. The bank was starting it's sale around $179,000. Probably will take less just to get rid of it. Beautiful with 2 story windows on one side of the house and a loft overlooking the 1st floor on land of 7 acres." The UP is a place where, during the housing boom, 1950s houses w/ 1500 sq ft were going for $20,000 - during the boom! - and, yeah, that's for the house AND land. So a $270,000 there would be brand new on a private, but city maintained road and feature packed. Probably built by "FIBs" (f'n Illinois basterds <- QT shoutout) who wanted a driveable vacation home with a little private snowmobile/ski/ATV/dirt bike room. Unless it has a private lake. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Adobe® ColdFusion® 8 software 8 is the most important and dramatic release to date Get the Free Trial http://ad.doubleclick.net/clk;207172674;29440083;f Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:289166 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5
