I’m not in the market for a new home currently. I’ve got my apartment and it’s pretty much all I need. When I went to look at it, my landlord was pretty upfront about issues I might run into with it, which was essentially nothing. One deep clean later and I’ve been happy there for around 4 years.
Yet if you’re in the market to buy your first home in Westman, you’d have to hope that your realtor would be upfront about any issues. Take this home in Colorado that realtor Mimi Foster is trying to sell. It’s a five-bedroom, four-bathroom that is in desperate need of some TLC. It’s on the market for $590,000 and is being described as “a little slice of hell!”. You’d think that would make people a little skeptical about the home, especially since it’s been vandalized with a variety of charming sayings like “Suck my ass!” and “Good luck!”. The previous owners also seemed fond of their sledgehammer and took that to a bunch of the walls, while also letting their pets have the run of the place and not getting them trained to do their business outside.
Somehow, Foster got 16 written cash offers within the house being on the market for a full day! The housing market in Colorado is a little crazy right now, and people are willing to pay hand over fist even for a major fixer-upper like this one. When you bought your first home, what was the biggest issue that needed fixing?
