It's been for sale for 4 months but the bank never got around to put it on the MLS. We signed the papers a few days ago. Place was 590K when it was built in winter of '06. We offered 280K. The bank countered at 305K with them paying closing and we jumped on it.

h:
400k though? god damn ... so many people wanna leave michigan but fuck if you have a steady job why leave? shits way way way cheaper here
so yea, this is
489k worth of house as you can see it is a little bigger (doubtful by much) than the one you are looking at. neighborhood is pretty good, public transport to nyc is good. funny thing is that they wanted 530k when they first put it on the market in nov 2008......
