All the others are either contingent on short sales. I don’t understand how this can be when there are so many foreclosures & empty houses out there. We are trying to buy a home yet every time a home is finally listed & we put a bid on one we are going against tons of other bids. A house we bid on last week had 42 offers. Are they just waiting to release a lot of houses all at once?

How can we go about selling our house faster? http://www.openhousereviews.com/open-house-listing/how-can-we-go-about-selling-our-house-faster/ http://www.openhousereviews.com/open-house-listing/how-can-we-go-about-selling-our-house-faster/#comments Sat, 15 May 2010 04:52:39 +0000 Admin http://www.openhousereviews.com/open-house-listing/how-can-we-go-about-selling-our-house-faster/ My husband and I have our house listed through Century 21 and are even having an open house soon but we live in the country (a relaxed atmosphere) and so far have had no takers. We are not asking for hardly any money compared to other houses the same age range and size for the area. We have a son that has medical issues and we need to move to a bigger city to get him closer to his doctors. Does anyone know how we can go about finding a buyer for our house without costing us money that we don’t have?!!!!!?
Our house has been on the market since the beginning of April. We had an open house for other Century 21 real estate agents to come check it out, but this month we have a regular open house. Our agent has our house on realestate.com and on C21′s site but they do not do print ads unless an open house is done.We can’t afford to spend any money in having to pay for ads anywhere because my husband is a dairy farmer and doesn’t make much money. Here is the web address to our house. http://www.century21.com/buy/property_detail.aspx?teasers=property-detail-all+Property+Detail+with+Pictures+and+Tour&tr_key=33693202&bSite=N&City=Pickton&State=TX&BedsMin=3&BathsMin=2

Theres no fence between mine and my neighbours house? How do i say this politely? http://www.openhousereviews.com/open-house-realestate/theres-no-fence-between-mine-and-my-neighbours-house-how-do-i-say-this-politely/ http://www.openhousereviews.com/open-house-realestate/theres-no-fence-between-mine-and-my-neighbours-house-how-do-i-say-this-politely/#comments Tue, 04 May 2010 19:11:01 +0000 Admin http://www.openhousereviews.com/open-house-realestate/theres-no-fence-between-mine-and-my-neighbours-house-how-do-i-say-this-politely/ Theres no fence between mine and the neighbours house. There is a shared drive way between the two houses and garages in the back on either side so itd be hard to get a fence. I’m renting so i cant put one up myself. The realestate won’t do anything, yet they said they were getting quotes done when I moved in .. 10 MONTHS AGO!

Anyway .. my neighbours are great really nice people .. we often go over there and my partner has a few drinks with her parter occasionally. They are nice people .. Anyway she has 7&6 year old boys that love my son who is 19 months old.

Well they always use our trampoline in the backyard coz my son is a little to young for it yet (It doesnt have a net .. it did but they broke it so we just took it off .. Kept having to re-tie broken elastic …)

Now the problem is the trampoline is on our side of the yard and I dont mind them using it but its summer where I live so we have the windows open. The trampoline is directly inline with the window a few metres away .. They call out to my son and get him to talk to them through the window .. And they’ve done it about 10 times today! Even when we weren’t in the room i could hear them yelling out ..

Also on the other side of the house near the back door they come right around if they hear me and aiden in the kitchen, (we bake together .. =D) or they come around to get our cat (im allergic so it doesnt come inside) they come around to the backdoor and interrupt everything .. Its driving me crazy .. I often worry once i hop out of the bath or shower coz i forget a towel a lot of the time or my clothes so i have to run naked or wrap the towel around me. and when im sitting in the bath i can hear em at my backdoor or down the side near the backdoor andi have to wait for em to go till i can go into my room and get changed! I shouldnt have to do that in my own house!

One time i walked into the kitchen and the little boy had opened the door and was starting to walk into the kitchen! I told his mum about this and he got in trouble. Its great they love aiden so much but this is getting really annoying! Especially today when they called out to him while they couldnt even see him!

I cant wait till they go back to school!!! But in the meantime how do you think i could word it nicely? Maybe its just coz im pregnant and overreacting? lol .. thanx anyway .. i feel better now!
I should have to worry about remebering to bring a towel to the bathroom because the neighbours kids are snooping right around the other side of my house near the back door?? The linen cupboard is on the way to my bedroom a few steps out of the bathroom .. But it is in plain sight of the backdoor .. and the actually wooden door has a big glass panel ..
Im allergic to cats thats why it doesnt come inside .. I break out in hives and puff up .. my son recently had an allergic reaction to something and we dont know what and my dads passed his allergies to me so i couldve passed em to my son … i dont want to take the risk .. just incase .. hives are a pain in the bum! lol
