Allentown, PA 18103
$2.99
PRICE: $300,000 (Seller states she wouldn't go below this amount; rejected a previous offer of $280,000)
MOTIVATION: Primary residence was a "startup home," never intended to be a forever home. Seller is getting older and wants to downsize to a ranch home with more land in the same area. Additionally, an ill father-in-law needs to move in, requiring a spare room. Seller wants to utilize the proceeds from this sale to fund their next property purchase.
CONDITION: Mixed. Significant renovations have been done since 2016 (husband knocked down walls, new floors, kitchen renovations, redid kids' rooms). Roof was done in 2016. Foundation is sound. Cosmetic work still needed: redo kitchen and dining room floors, some broken tiles in living room/playroom/hallway. Half of the walls are plaster and need to be drywalled. No central AC (uses window units), electric baseboard heating.
TIMELINE: "Sooner than later." Seller needs approximately 3 months after accepting an offer to find and purchase a new home. She has lender pre-approval but needs the funds from this sale.
