House Report – 48 Litchfield Ave

We saw this one just as it hit the market about a month ago. At that point the list was $389K. We were out with our Realtor Tom and that Saturday there was a lineup of people and their Realtors taking turns tromping through the house. There was a lot of buzz around this house [...]

Open House Report – October 17th/18th

Here are three houses we saw last weekend. All three were either estate sales or homes in a similar state of disrepair. If you’re looking for that fixer upper, this is the post for you.
I’m rushing to get this post in before midnight to make it a full week of daily posting. Woo hoo!

Open House Sunday – 202 Livingston Ave

Gary was stuck working on Sunday, so I took the baby out to enjoy the nice weather. Along the way we stopped to see this open house which I had had my eye on for the past couple weeks.

Open House Report – Last Day Of August

A slow Sunday here at work, so here are those open house reports that I promised you. Yes, they’re from two weeks ago. What’s your point?
I did a little experiment with these three. I took my Flip video camera along and left it running while I was in the house. It wasn’t quite as useful [...]

Open House – 84 Village Line Rd

I saw this house last week on Thursday during the “agent open house”. I asked specifically about the school district and the agent assured me that the south side of Village Line Road, where this house sits, marks the northern border of the Babylon Village school district.

Open House – 142 Livingston Ave

Here it is, the summer of blog. Sorry I missed day one. I just suck, is all.
You can see that we’ve really caught the real estate bug when were going to see houses way out of our price range.

395 Park Ave

Here’s a golden oldie for those of you (like me) that like the 100+ year old houses. We saw this one last week with our Realtor, Tom McGiveron.

Open House – 31 Greenway S

OK, still getting caught up here. This is a house we saw two weeks ago. Apropos of nothing in particular, every wall was covered in nautical-themed items; anchors, oars, ropes, ships, sea scapes, you name it. I know that Babylon is a shore town, but you need to show a little restraint.

Open House Report – 78 Wampum and 78 Livingston

We saw these houses almost a month ago, way back on My 31st. This just goes to show you what a damn slacker I’ve been.
I’ve got another old open house — 31 Greenway — to write up and we’re going to see some houses this weekend, so I hope to have more content for you [...]
