I think the people that bought next door are flipping it!
I was so excited to get new neighbors but instead every night late these men go over there and work on the house
They are never going to get any money for it so I don't know why they would even bother I don't care how much work they put into it.

Re: I think the people that bought next door are flipping it!
Same thing happened on our block. A house that was rented for most of its life was sold for $369k at the beginning of its life. We heard a young couple with children were going to be living there....but it turned out the owners were going to flip it. They put a lot of money into the house, and are now asking $479k. The landscaping is not done, the driveway is dirt, and the area around the house just looks horrible. Plus the taxes are $9500, because it was nexer grieved. The last owner lived in florida, and just rented out the house....

It could be worst. In both cases the homes could be left untouched. At least improvements have been made and it's moving in the right direction. The higher price and much needed improvements will hopefully get you good neighbors that will continue to fix up.

Re: I think the people that bought next door are flipping it!
It might not be a flip you know... when DH and I purchased our last two houses they needed serious renovations, and because we both worked full-time, most of the renovations took place at night after work. We arranged it so that we still lived in our old house for 2-3 months while we completed the renovations and moved in when everything was ready...

We renovated our entire house before moving in so it is possible that they are fixing the house before moving in.

Re: I think the people that bought next door are flipping it!
We closed in september, spent the next 9 weeks renovating and then moved in....and have still been doing new things to the house. It never ends.
That house on my block is now being rented, because they could not sell it.

Same here. We closed on Oct 29th of last year but couldn't move in until early March due to extensive renovations. I think everyone remembers my Extreme Home Makeover thread Hopefully, that's what is going on. It's hard to live with so much renovation, especially with kids.

I was just going to say the same thing. We thought our next door neighbors were flipping because they came and went and odd hours, just turns out they were doing major renovations and didn't move in officially until they were just about completed.

Exactly - not sure what's so bad about a "flip". DH and I are redoing in order to sell and make some money. We've improved the outside of the house and have noticed that people on our block, as well as our upstairs neighbors, are all starting to some work to their houses as well and we've been told they've been inspired by us.

Re: I think the people that bought next door are flipping it!
Does your town have any restriction on noise or constrcuion?
I know the buildng next door to us filed a complaint with our town, b/c construction is only suppsoed to occur during business ours & the guys workign in our building were working late into the night.
Not all towns have those rules though.
