Photoessay #1087 - Looking at Condos




Many thanks for my friend Jan, who works in real estate, for going to lunch today and showing my codos in the nearby town of Edmonds. Cute town with a walk-around downtown on Puget Sound. Lots of condominiums. Bus service. Nice views. But lot of people want a condo in Edmonds so the prices haven't dropped as much as other places.

We went to 4 places. I'm just exhausted! Not used to it! The first place looked right into the sewage plant. But a nice looking sewage plant and the sound and mountains beyond. Very reasonably priced, small, not much storage, pretty plain. We thought that maybe an older lady original owner had lived there.

Second one was too cute by half. Confusing floor plan. Crazy colors, lots of black and this navy blue patterned carpeting. Kind of place where you have to ask, what room is this? Might be a cool place for a young Microsoft guy who likes to entertain. 50K more than the first place.

Third place we kind of found by mistake. Nice reasonable floor plan. Kitchen doesn't have window, that would be hard. Nice aspect, actually right around the corner from the first place. Overlooks 4th St which turns out to be pretty busy. Walk in closet in smallish master bedroom. Lots of window in front. Price in the middle

Prices ran from 289K to 350K. All two bedroom/two bath.

Would this go in our investment plan and eventually move in?
