Real Estate Timing in Lex (mortgage, house, buy)

I would also definitely look at the 2 in Rabbit Run. One is 199K, the other is 204K. When I was looking, I was told that was a very prestigious neighborhood (and I drive through there a lot, very pretty).

My searching with zip codes is not bringing up more Glendover E. homes; I guess this is why I'm not a realtor

Thanks for your ideas. The only problem with the lovely Rabbit Run homes is there is no basement--no place for a guest room since we will use all 4 BRs.

gotcha, so now we're down to about 10 houses ... but still, some nice ones there. Oops, take out Waller Rd.

There is a nice ranch in Glendover that backs up to the Arboretum that is for sale by owner. It looks very nice! It's on Bellefonte

Do you have a link to it or any more info? You can PM if you prefer.

Thanks.

I couldn't find it on line. I drove by it yesterday and noticed it. I'll try to go by this weekend and get the phone # and PM it to you. It looks like it has a walk out basement. I have no idea of the price but the sign says "Below appraisal"

Thanks for the PM.

You have to tell us how you like the house.

Unfortunately it's out of my price range. If anyone hears of a 4 BR (especially FSBO) that is 200K or under in a good school system, then I am interested

OK, it's me again

I just went to the "for sale by owner" website (For Sale By Owner, homes for sale, houses, real estate, for sale) and found two very interesting possibilities.

1. 180K in Plantation
Garden Springs - Beaumont - Dunbar
4 bedroom ranch, basement

2. 199K in "UK" area (Goodrich)
Glendover - Morton - Lafayette
4-5 bedroom cape cod, basement, etc.

PS - the fine print on the second says it is under offer pending finance approval, but at least you know there are possibilities out there!

Thanks so much. I've got my eye on those, too!
