Single Family Home
1209 Crestview Road
Albert Lea, MN  $157,500  4 Bed
1 Baths
1 Partial 1772 Sq  

Would you pay that much? (Tax report says it is worth $132). All the other houses surrounding hers  are worth anywhere from $95-125.
It appears to be a nice home, but IMO it is overpriced...
Is the housing market on its way back?? We are looking for a home with at least 3 bdrms but at these prices, who can afford a bigger home and it seems hard to find a well taken care of home these days in the lower price ranges.

A hunderd years from now, who will know you over paid?  What is the 1 Partial 1772 Sq?  It sounds to big to be a partial bath.  Tax reports usually understate the value, but in todays market who knows.

I have not seen the house, but I suspect she overpaid for it and is trying to come out of the deal whole.

$157,500 too much?  :rofl:  :rofl:  :rofl:
Maybe she should ship it to the west coast.

Sorry - but at that price it sounds like our dream house.

I have decided that it would be in my family's best interest not to participate in the recession.

You have hit the problem.  She came from Colorado where, much like the west coast, prices here seem cheap.  This can cause people who move here, or other like cities, to overpay.

Then again, she may have a clause in her new contract that permits moving expenses, which may include the sale of her house. If it's not sold within a certain period of time, the new city will pay a percentage like 90% of listed value.

Is she selling it herself? I think the price isn't set by her if she has it listed. Maybe there are upgrades inside that make it worth more. Why don't you go take a look before you decide it isn't worth that much. Why does everything anyone in office does become some kind of scam? Take a look ...then decide , instead of just guessing.

A conclusion is simply the place where you got tired of thinking.

Mr Randall Erdman of Leland Realty has the house listed for sale.

(IMHO he's one of the areas best real estate agents)
