At the original list price of $720,000, most Good Deal or Not (GDoN) commenters gave this home, which needed quite a bit of work, a thumbs down. Although it’s not going to work all the time, this looks like a good case for putting an offer out there for what you actually think a property is worth, despite the list price. While the asking price was eventually lowered to $695,000., it sold for more than $100,000. below that.

I didn’t have an opportunity to get inside this property while it was listed, but I pass by it frequently. It is unusual to find a fully detached single family home in this part of the city and I find the architecture quite intriguing. The interior pics suggest some interesting original details and I really hope that this turns out to be a thoughtful renovation.

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.

You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.

It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
