When I was there for the final visit with the prospective homeowners (who were in the process of offering $1.1M for it), there was literally another real estate agent with her clients knocking on the door.
Check out these gems from the kitchen, and master bath, both of which we've ripped out.

So much going on in the plumbing pic. It could literally be the sales poster for red/blue pex.
Whaaat the absolute fuck. I was thinking it was probably going to go for asking or less. Hard to compete with dumb money.Quote:

Suburban fivehead garaged McSpec-Mansion went under contract in two days. Ridic.
Unknown, but it was 2 owners ago. Obviously a "looks good from my house" flipper job. Just another $250k or so and it's all going to be pretty decent. The location and outdoor spaces are pretty great, at least.Quote:

We bought here in ‘01, and were convinced that we ‘got here too late’.
I remember in 2010 they were selling Teton Reserve lots for like 13,000. Shouldn'ta taken that trip to Chile... snow sucked anyways!
I moved to Driggs in 1990 because prices were just too high in Jackson for a $15/hr carpenter to afford.Quote:

What’s a half million in renovations?
Hey, don't poop on my dream of buying it, putting in another $200k, and having a palace
$2 million...but it is Canadian dollars :)

what a dump
I have a feeling it won't be standing for too long after it sells.Quote:

This takes the cake for the most "what are they smoking?" listing I've seen in Alta. Maybe it'll sell.
That's like a 40K house plopped on flat open 2.5 acres. Huh. I'm not familiar with the area - it is the proximity to Targhee that's the price driver?Quote:

Can you subdivide that 2.5 acres ? What is the land worth WITHOUT that double wide ?Quote:

18 months ago I looked at a 4 bedroom, 3500 sq ft custom built house on 3+ acres in Alta for $900k. I had mature landscaping, a pond and an oversized heated garage. It had been for sale for years with no buyers. That same house today would probably sell for >$3MM in two days.

I detect some experience behind the demo cuts, everything is cleaned out down to the structural members and cut lines are straight. Makes for better, quicker cleaner repair work.
Yeah, I'd say this one needs a bit of TLC...

I think you mean, "Hidden gem!!! Unique!!! So much potential!!! Opportunity to make it your own!!!"
It is descibed as "could be a dream project." ;)Quote:

Did that area flood during the heavy rains this year? I've seen some listings in Bellingham that advertise "creek in the backyard!" which kind of makes me laugh -- is there still anyone who sees that as a selling point in that area?Quote:

The funny thing about "creek (on or near) property" is that it's never been much of a plus due to wetland/critical area setbacks and buffers. But in this town I'm not even sure 'on fire' would have much impact on price.
