So does anyone have any guesses about this house---
http://mlsli.com/unidetailsredo.cfm?mformat&mlnum=2004925&typeprop=1
I think the house is in a good location. The listing says that the house has a new roof, kit., and bath. I know its tiny-- but why that price?

My first thought is this house needs a ton of work and it's very small.

Re: So does anyone have any guesses about this house---
I can't see the pics of the house b/c I'm blocked at work, but the area where the house is located is formerly a vacation spot from way back in the day so a lot of those homes are really small bungalows that need a lot of work. Also, that area has a lot of flooding issues. Either that or it could be a short sale.

My thoughts are, they have flooding, it is a small house, right at an intersection and needs a lot of work.

Re: So does anyone have any guesses about this house---
Like Deanna already stated I'm thinking it needs a lot of work. When we were house hunting properties that only had one picture normally needed a lot of work and were quite the disappointment. The only exception being newly listed properties. Perhaps call the agent as ask what gives.

Re: So does anyone have any guesses about this house---
Thank you ladies! I love coming on this board for information. I asked because there is another house in the area I am interested in... but I wanted to get some advice.

I know that area floods a lot, that is why we didn't buy that close to the water.

I agree and it probably is in a flood area as PP's said.

Re: So does anyone have any guesses about this house---
I think it's probably railroad style--you have to walk through one room to get to the next. That, plus what a PP said about not having interior pictures.

I agree too, and it is a flood area. DH and I look at a house a while back a few blocks north and insurance was INSANE.....if at all possible and and that was about 1.5 years ago.

Re: So does anyone have any guesses about this house---
i know it says its a ranch, but there appears to be a window that could be a second floor....they may have crammed a 'bedroom' in the attic or something. so it may be a one bedroom with a tiny room in the attic that they use a bedroom.....ive seen people do this before!

Re: So does anyone have any guesses about this house---
that area is very prone to flooding. Might have water damage?
Go take a look and let us know!!

Re: So does anyone have any guesses about this house---
Isn't that by Chateau Le Mer? My thoughts were there also could be a lot of thru traffic on Wellwood ave due to this, and that, in addition to flooding, could reflect the price. I am sure if you drive by, you may see something that will explain the price a bit more.

Re: So does anyone have any guesses about this house---
i used to live down there. They have built up that spot on shore road so it doesn't flood as much anymore. but, down the block... holy COW!
HOWEVER, i do believe that there was a fire in this home a few years ago. maybe it has something to do with that?
ETA - i used to live on atlantic street which is even further south. my backyard flooded, but never the street.
Yes flood insurance pretty much doubled my homeowners...

and that's not a good price for a house like that. unless you just want the land. it looks like a knockdown house.

that's my thought also - you are buying the land. Even though parts of the house are supposedly "new", who knows how hold it really is.
