The house next door is FINALLY up for sale. When we first moved in, there was an Hispanic couple living there. There was always a Volvo with a Columbia University sticker and New Jersey license plates there. After a while, we only saw a Latina there with a little yard monkey that couldn't be more than three years old. By the way, I use the term yard monkey as a humorous way of referring to a toddler or young child...nothing more than that.
After a while, we saw the Latina loading up her vehicle with food stuffs and other kitchen items. They put a food refrigerator unit from a Mexican grocery store in the driveway. After a year or more, they removed the refrigeration units. The grass has grown up to over knee high on many occasions.
Recently, there were a few people doing yard work there several days in a row. Yesterday, a "FOR SALE" sign went up in the yard. WONDERFUL! I am glad to see it. I hope the house sells soon and to some good neighbors. My prayer is that we will have some neighbors that we can become friends with.
I have always thought that it was a nice house. It is a great location, too. A half acre lot and a front porch appeal to me. Apparently, the house is larger than I thought. It is over 3100 square feet and has four bedrooms. Wow. The asking price is $250,000. After the house sells, this link will no longer work, but it will at least take you to the web site of a friend of mine.
I did some calculations on a mortgage on that house. With 20% down, expect a mortgage of about $1500 a month. Lower the down payment to just 5% and the monthly goes up to over $1800. That is more house than I can currently afford, but I do like the house.

Thought I was moving in there for a second, bro. But too rich for my blood, too!
