In business, morals are called ethics or standards of conduct.

Perhaps related to an earlier discussion ... this website (which is intended for paying various municipal bills) conveniently lets you see real estate bills in the towns they cover. I suppose the most useful thing would be to see if your neighbors are behind on their taxes.

All you need to know is the address.
So you look up your neighbor's real estate bills?

True but what I'm referring to, falls more under personal responsibility.

Guess the market is still hot.

Saw a home listed on Saturday with offers due Tuesday. Viewed it today and the agent said there were over 50 people who viewed it over the weekend. I told her I would like to offer list price and she brushed me off, she already had offers over asking.

Was the house in pretty good shape? I'm observing that solid houses that need little work are hot as they're few and far between, but the houses that developers would've snapped up a year or two ago are sitting longer and seeing price cuts.

Split level

Very common in some Midwest states. I have family who live in Missouri. They ALL live in split level houses. The middle class subdivisions are mostly split levels. When my sibs tried to get me to "move home" (haven't lived in the Midwest since 1990) at retirement, I said "and live in a split level?" *puke*

We moved east and I was introduced to Colonial style homes. Those I like. If I could afford it, I'd live next door to Colonial Williamsburg (though I know from seeing pictures of the pre-restoration town that the houses were not so twee or fabulous.)

I like to think of split levels as a ranch style house with a finished basement. It's basically the same thing except lifted in the air a bit.

I agree, I've always really disliked that style of home.

In the 70's in OH I had a tri-level. As you faced the front, the left side was two story. The right side one story. Bottom left was kitchen, dining room, rec room, door to backyard, 1/2 bath, laundry. You went up 6 stairs from either the rec room or the dining rom and there was a large living room where the front door was. Up 6 more stairs to highest level that had 3 bedrooms and one full bath.

I like that lay out but now I demand one story.
