Anyone Want to Buy a House?

Kristine's mother, Karen, is a Realtor. The other day she asked me if I'd help with cleaning a house she's selling. So this afternoon, I spent a few hours doing just that. Here are some shots of the house.

Looking into the dining room.

Looking into the living room.

The kitchen, duh!

Standing in the dining room, looking out onto the lanai and yard.

Backyard.

Now for a few general specs on the house:
three bedrooms (two downstairs, master bedroom upstairs)
two bathrooms
1500 sq. feet
2-car garage
no insulation
no attic
no basement

Cost:
$630,000
Yes, folks, that's what it costs to live in paradise!

When I came home and told Kristine about it and then told her the price, her instantaneous reaction was: "That's really a great price!!"

See, it's all relative.

Karen, said she had three bids on it and it sold within a month. Go figure.

Wow..that is a lot of money to me for a house that looks fairly small inside. Fonda-600,000 would be a mansion! Someone at work was discussing the severe poverty of Hawaii...how some places are very very poor. Do you see any of that where you are?
