who will buy..
... our nice little house here? For it is, indeed, for sale; or it will be in a couple days anyways. It's what you might call incovenient for us: our landlords now are just fine, thank you very much, and who wants to deal with a whole new set of folks? But even worse than that--so terrible, in fact, that everything else positively pales in comparison--is that we now have to keep the house clean, so people can come look at it.
Actually, no. It won't be anything but a benefit to us to have a little added incentive to straighten up around the place from time to time; after all, it's us who live here so we're the ones get to enjoy all the cleanliness. The problem lies more in the fact that our present situation allows other people to tell us we need to clean our house, on a certain timetable. That does not please me at all. Even worse, the real estate guy let slip a little warning about someone in Boston who got sued by his landlord for cheapening the value of the property he (the landlord) was selling, most likely by telling the truth about the dump that was on the market, that he happened to be living in.
And that seems a bit much, suing and all that. Because obviously, what interest do we as tenants have in driving up the price of the house? And why would we not have the right to give our honest opinion about the house where we, lately, spend alot more time than the landlords? It doesn't seem particularly fair to me. Not a nice situation at all. And then there's all the folks are going to be traipsing through and the open houses and all that... no, all in all this is not a development that I can say I am pleased with.
