Haskell St.

We looked at about 6 houses on our 2nd house hunting trip today. We saw 2 that were pretty decent, this house is from Haskell St in Riverside 3 Bedrooms and 2 bathrooms for $189,000.  The price is definitely too high for the neighborhood, and the kitchen counter is not actually attached to the cabinets and there is no range/stove. The backyard is in decent condition, but the fence definitely needs some TLC- might be something we can see if the bank would fix for us.  Anyway, we are not going to put in an offer right now. The house has been on the market now for 60 some odd days, so we are going to wait a little bit and see if they decide to drop the price some. We are waiting to get some more listings from our Realtor, he said that in the next 2-3 weeks we should see a bunch of brand new listings.

The other house was in Appleton and we really like the lay out but right behind the backyard was the railroad tracks and then Dewey St. and thee was tagging on the fence and inside one of the rooms. For Security purposes alone, we are not really considering this house, the one upside is they installed brand new double paned windows and doors so you can't hear the railroad when it passes. Ehhh, that one is listed at $165,000 3 bedroom 2 bathroom. The other REALLY bad thing about the Appleton house is that they "tried" to convert the garage into another living space and they drywalled right over the garage (yuck!) so there would some demo work that would need to be done... so I don't know I don't like this property very much.

Anyway.... the other houses were either too small or weird lay outs.
