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 [...]

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. 202 Livingston Ave MLS# 2218564 – Zillow Page Ask $439,000 3 bedrooms – 2 baths – [...]

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. 142 Livingston Ave MLS# 2205934 – Zillow Page Ask $569,000 3 bedrooms – 2 baths [...]
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. 31 Greenway S. [...]
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 [...]

I didn’t want [...]
Houses that are of interest to us continue to be pretty thin on the ground so we set out on a rainy Sunday afternoon to see this one. There were a good number of people there when we arrived at about 1:30 PM. I’m still surprised that nobody has ever come up to me and [...]

Well, last Sunday was Easter and I had to work anyway, but there were some open houses on Saturday and Debra ventured forth to see the one we might be interested in. The house report is based mostly on her commentary and my editorial input. That’s actually a bit ironic, considering that she’s the editor [...]

HIB commenter submitted this guest post about his recent visit to an open house in Plainview. Spouse dragged me to an Open House on a Plainview split-level over the weekend. Listed at $425,000, low for the area, I guess. Nonetheless, my strongest thought was that the slimy used-house salesman should be sued for malpractice for [...]

I’m trying to get this one up as quickly as possible while the impressions are fresh in my mind. The open house was this past Sunday and even though this house was a bit out of our price range, we were happy for the excuse to get out of the apartment a bit. 50 Paumanake [...]
