 we are thinking about selling our home and buying a cool condo downtown
our home is nice and big 4 bedrooms 2 "living rooms" 3 bath

but we both work close to downtown. The hubs doesn't drive in the big city and we are both tired of the up-keep yard ect. This area would give us access to both our work and play without driving a lot for either one of us. Additionally, the hubs could still enjoy life after I am gone should I die before him.


We have been here 15 years. During that time, we have helped others by letting them stay when they had no place else to go and now that everyone is settled, we want some fun and think this just might be the ticket.

We attended a "concert in the park" sponsored by the condo company and toured them. Think we are going to put in a bid.

We are excited, but anxious because of the housing market. Our neighborhood is pretty solid, tho, and in the 15 years we have been here, only 3 homes in our area have been for sale and they sell pretty quickly.

There are a lot of things to consider. We have two boxers a 2 year old and a 4 month old. I would have to sell my piano and organ and just get a nice keyboard. The hubs is a HAM and would have to figure out some kind of antenna since he won't have his tower.


here is a link to the condos...

Wait, wait.. I thought Pam's house was four floors, with room for fifty people. What happened?

Now they have to sell out and move into a crappy apartment in the ghetto?

I can't wait to see them try to move into a condo and run afoul of the myriad HOA rules.

6. good question I hadn't thought of that

I am also a bit nervous about having "neighbors" on the other side of the wall. I don't like to worry about fire or what they might do that could affect us.

I also worry about not being able to open the back door and just letting our dogs run inside our fenced back yard. It would be quite an adjustment

I would think that the condo tenants should get a disclosure as to what is moving into their complex.  

Another super smarty that doesn't know about HOA fees?  It is a wonder that they are in the lower 3 sigma of the bell curve. It is truly amazing that they can feed themselves.

I'd love to see the turnover in her neighborhood.  Yeah, 3 houses in an entire neighborhood in 15 years?  I've seen a single house turn over 3 times in 15 years.

But not surprising her chosen career is to brainwash the "yutes" of our fair land.

And we wonder why we're falling farther and farther behind.

No, I think she should try to move into a condo, dogs, guns, fire, and all.

12. we can cover that

our home is pretty much paid for so the equity of the sale would knock down the price of the condo



That, however, is another issue. Not having a house payment is pretty sweet and this would put us back into the situation of making payments. We can do it easily (unless the Crohn's makes it impossible for me to work)


we also have a lot of "stuff" so we would have to consider that as well. It is a big decision but we both love downtown.

13. thanks. It is a lot to consider. We have 4 levels

because our basement is fully finished as well, we would be giving up a lot of space



We have also had my side of the family for Christmas since we have been in our home. I don't think it would be possible if we got the condo but after 15 years, maybe it is time for my brothers or sisters to do the honors.

14. Better read the condo owners rules carefully before jumping

They usually don't allow antennas.

The hubs had better be prepared to look for a different hobby other than amateur radio like playing checkers or something.

Bet they don't allow dogs either so you had better start looking for a new home for the Boxers.

And the people trying to sell the condos will lie about this stuff too. They will tell you, "Oh sure, dogs and antennas will be alright.", just to make the sale.

After you get moved in you will find out the agent was lying through his/her teeth.

Been down this road before so I am speaking from experience.

Again, I'd love to see the comps on her neighborhood.

No way a teacher can afford to live in a $750K condo.  If they can, well, then she just proved my point about public sector employees getting paid WAY too much.

The website says the condos are only 50% sold. That means this is another of those condo developments that was under construction when the jug-eared real estate collapse hit. Anyone who pays $750K will have a nice $200K apartment after the bankruptcy trustee conducts a fire sale on the remaining units.

Anyway, Pam is still a pathological liar. If they can that sell that little split level they live in now they'll have around $75K, minus their mortgage balance, as a down payment on their $750K apartment. So, can a worker at the school board's juvie prison and a city IT guy handle payments on a $675K mortgage?

Not unless the foul-mouthed Grandma Bonnie left them a fortune.

Totally agree on all counts. Wonder where all the 'feed the rich' OWS types there are. So I thought she couldn't afford her cancer treatments? Sounds to me it's more like she didn't want her luxury slush fund touched to pay for them. What a piece of shit she is...total leeching loser.

If she decides to move, someone needs to warn her new neighbors about her.  Pam and hubs seem to be pretty low rent type people.
