The city house vs the country house

April 25th, 2013 at 04:26 am

have been following housing values on Zillow, and both houses are climbing fairly steadily- which is reflective of what I am also hearing in the local market. If the city house continues on its current trajectory, I should be able to put it on the market within 3-6 months.

The country house value is also climbing. Fortunately, it is in the black already, since we have owned it so long. It just needs some TLC to return to its former glory. The hub and I will be spending this weekend at the house starting that process.

It is encouraging to see housing turning around. I would love to be able to eventually sale the city house without taking a loss...but time will tell.

    I am delighted to see prices rise also. I bought right before the upswing, so I actually timed it right! If you're not in a hurry, I would wait for the city house to recoup its value before selling.

    It is good to see housing improve, but one of our major employers just laid off a bunch of folks, so I bet our market takes a hit when folks try to sell or go into foreclosure.

    Well, I am keeping my fingers crossed...I know its a coin toss right now..but I am leaning towards optimism on these goals!! Go Economy!!
