That's because they alter the photos with filters...I was shocked at the condition of both. They look so good online.
Honestly if it wasn't for the water damage they would be doable. But even if it needs a new roof it would be the buyer's responsibility and it's not priced to accommodate the necessary repairs. And then there could be a mold issue. Of course, if she was really interested there would be an inspection. The two units are owned by the same person and he rents them out. The nicer unit is rented by someone who has lived there 12 years.
@KLS52 About water damage.... As a rule, I'm definitely more of a "glass-half-full" kinda guy- but I'd be worrying about storms in that area. Even so, beachfront property is usually valued highly. Most folks must consider it worth the risk.

I thought you all might be curious about the prices of homes in my area. This one is in a very small town a few miles down the road towards Orlando.

We bought in April 2020 and our house has increased in value by $152,000-212,000 according to Zillow. It's absurd. Granted, we added a second full bath, but still.
Makes me want to sell so bad but then where would I go lol.

My house also has gone up, nearly double what I paid for it in 2017, and that's with no garage and a shared driveway. It's crazy.
Mine was valued at 93,000 when I bought in 2015, now 126,000
My county just did another tax assesment and I really got lucky it didn't go up again! I pay about 3,850 a year

My house is nearly $500,000! I just checked. It is a small house too. The UK is ridiculous.
My friend near where I live said she used to own a house in Florida and they sold it and now it is worth $700000. She regrets it as she said Florida was like living in paradise to her. They were Snow Birds, meaning they lived part of the year in the US and the rest in England.I thought you all might be curious about the prices of homes in my area.

Don't get me started on taxes. My less than 900 square foot house in New York on a 100x 200 lot cost me over $10,000 a year in taxes by 2019. It's why we moved when I retired in 2020. We could not afford to stay there with me not working.
My taxes were $4200 in 2020 and have gone up to $4800 this year.
Our last assessment was in 2020 at $156,000. The numbers in my previous post were based on market value. I dread the new assessment because I know they will raise the taxes again.

It occurred to me that when I pay off my mortgage, prob 2032, my taxes will cost as much as my first apartment rent!
I hear you on the taxes. I paid just under $4,700 in 2018, and now I'm approaching $6,000.
We have seen a house we like in Kent, but I think I will see if my house sells and if it doesn't we might wait until next year to move. We have only had one viewing so far. I'm sure another house will come up next year as we now know the area we want to move to. I keep reading different things about whether it is a good idea to sell this year or next. There isn't any real rush to move as I do like the area I'm in.
It is Broadstairs in Kent.
Leigh-on-sea is about the same price as there, slightly more expensive here as we are closer to London.
