I hope you are right. It would be nice to buy a house like that under $500K.
There was another Blackstad house listed for $549K (1800+ sq ft). We checked it out but didn’t like it because the back yard fence got knocked down, the bathrooms and kitchens needed replacement). Bedrooms have laminated woods (bad idea). Stairs were squeaky. The owner seemed depressed when we talked to him. Anyway, it went into foreclosure today.
