We Bought House #4



We got the official word a bit ago that we have reached an agreement with the seller of 1594 Pinetree Drive! This was the only house we saw (after looking at over 50 houses) that we really liked and was move-in-ready. The house is south of the actual city of Pittsburgh in a township called Upper St. Clair. The house is 49 years old but has been completely upgraded inside and out-new roof, new windows, new deck, new landscaping, new kitchen, new bathrooms, new game room, new lighting ect...The seller gave an allowance for new appliances so I get to go shopping this week and pick them out as well as the dining room light fixture! We are so thankful that this house we can move right into without doing any work! But of course you all know me so I have a small list like painting a few rooms and putting carpet in the master bedroom! We close on the house November 30th but we aren't going to move until we have a contract on the Philly house. We have been advised that we will have better luck selling the house with all of our furniture in it. We have had 31 showings in less than 30 days but no written offers yet. We dropped the price after the first 15 showings and are now faced with another price drop. We are hoping to just break even but it looks like we might have to take a loss. But we have St. Joseph buried and we are hoping he is doing his job!
