How much do you think my house is worth?




Yomas


My house is in Hayden, Idaho in a very desirable neighborhood. It was built in 1977, and we payed around 150,000 for it. Then we put around 210,000 in to it, totally remodeling it. It is 6 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, with two of the bedrooms being master sweets. It is 3,400 square feet on a beautiful acre with great landscaping, a 1000 square foot deck, a 2 story tree house, a road leading to the back, rv parking, a hot tub, and a storage barn. It has great curb appeal, newly painted (white with black shutters), 2 stories with a nice front porch. The family room is about 17 - 17 square feet and very open with a stone fireplace to the ceiling. The kitchen is very large with granite counters, and there are wood floors the whole way through. 2 bedrooms down, 4 up. The master is way bigger than most masters, with wood walls and ceiling with carpet, and also has a stone electric fireplace. The living room is huge and beautiful, with wood ceiling, yellow walls, and so much sun coming through. Its about 25 - 30 ft, and is used as a music room (for harp and piano). The stairs are average, and the upstairs rooms average about 14 by 15 feet each, other than the master which is large. All the bathrooms have marble, and one is Greek looking with a stone shower. There is an intercom, a movie closet, a large laundry room with an attic down the hallway to the master, only a 2 car garage but lots of parking, but the inside can be dark sometimes if all the lights are off, but all in all it is great. We listed it at 675,000 and have gone down to 595,000. Realitors think it should be about 625000. What is your opinion.


Answer
Do you honestly think that random strangers on the Internet are somehow going to be able to evaluate your property better than the Realtors who actually saw it? If their opinion is that it's worth $625K, then that's what it's worth.

Can the screen on a sears free standing fireplace be replaced?




m_evelyn


We had this installed in our house before we moved in in 1986. Over the years of having a fire in it the screen as become crimped. Before anyone says to replace it with a electric fireplace or gas one I will not. Not fond of gas and don't want to pay my electric company more than I have to. If I could I would go completely off the grid.


Answer
If Sears still sells the part, then you can. Look on searspartsdirect.com You'll need the Sears model number off the fireplace.

You know those 'silica gel' packs that come with shoes, electronics?




a kinder,


Do they really need to warn people not to eat them? Would someone say, "Hey, look! They gave me a packet of salt with my new shoes! Let's go out to eat!"?

Wouldn't someone who ate such a thing deserve what they got anyways?
You people are GREAT!!
