Are we crazy for paying this price?

SD R,
Just an FYI, the house is not anywhere near crumbling into the canyon though the small deatched studio could. Wouldnt be a mjor loss and probably unlikely anyway.

That house rocks! In between an appraisal in Mission Valley and an inspection in PQ I had to run up to NH to drop some keys in a lockbox on my listing there. I was 2 blocks away so I dropped by. I was walking through that house less than an hour ago. While it is not my style of house or location, I loved it just the same. If you invited me to party there, I’d go. It has ample size master suites up and downstairs both with ample size baths and walk-in closets. It has a great office up stairs, a nice open kitchen, large dining room, lots of big windows (so plenty of natural light) a nice size yard in front and back. I loved the detached studio/flat out back also. While I’m not privy to the inspection, on the surface the house had tons of appeal. The street looks great and the homes are well maintained as are yards. I dont know the comps for a house like that off the top of my head but if that is the style of house you are looking for I say winner, winner chicken dinner.

BTW the house is in pretty good condition and does not appear to need any major repairs or remodelling. Only what a new owner desires to personalize it with.[/quote]

Is this the lunatic post where you are telling apple NOT to buy?? After you just HAPPENED to “run out to NH today” and “stumble upon this listing?” How convenient! ;=]

so, sdr, “while not an expert in those hoods” (your words), in your “expert opinion,” is it worth the “low 700’s??”

I was thinking this too, lol! Sdrealtor, are you the listing agent? You mentioned that the listing agent for the property is a really great guy and then you happen to go to NH and check out the property. I wonder if I should have posted this? It was probably too much info!

Anyway, I am really happy about all the helpful responses people have posted.

Applejack, my comments could be irrelevant to the specific house you’re looking at. We know a few people in Normal Hts and also have seen a few homes there. The primary reason we scratched NH off the list, is because there is a lot of expansive soil in NH. From what I understand, it is clay. Every house I’ve ever been into in the neighborhood has severe settlement – the house changes several feet in elevation throughout the home or slopes one direction. I have no idea if this pertains to the house you’re buying or that section of the neighborhood.

The only way you can find out for sure if the home you’re looking at is built on clay is to contact a soil engineer and have them look up that house, along with possibly having an inspection done by a soil engineer. IF the house is built on expansive soil, it can get very very expensive to fix by someone who knows what they are doing. Has this house has had any foundation work done due to settlement, and if so, how far down did they drill? If they didn’t go all the way into bedrock, that house is going to keep settling, just the nature of clay.
