The old adage is most certainly true. We met with a Realtor today and saw two of the properties that we fell in love with via ads on the web. Photoshop can do some serious magic. It erases stains, crappy workmanship, and can make a house appear "pristine". Our ideal house turned out to be some ones home improvement project gone awry. Apparently, they did not read home improvements for dummies. Why pergo not only on all surfaces down stairs, but the stairway and all of the halls upstairs as well? The "re modeler" never got good at putting down the pergo. There were gaps between the wall and the flooring all over. the other house had water damage and was missing part of the ceiling...but it had a pool! Looks like we will be staying put. Secretly we are hoping the housing prices start tumbling down. I think some of the people who are selling these money pits must be high if they think someone will pay good money for crap in this market!
