Two doors down from us a flip is going on. We knew the former life long dear woman and friend who lived there and died pretty estranged from her family (she was never married) from Covid in 2022. Her house was in ROUGH shape. Not good on the outside and after seeing pics, worse on the inside. Habitat for Humanity came and did an outside “facelift” a few years ago and helped with some major roof issues but it was still rough and desperately needs windows.
It was bought this spring at auction by a realtor who has dozens of properties or has flipped dozens. I can clearly see they are flipping as cheaply as possible including just painting the horrid windows. This would be a starter home and they are in high demand in our area. He will flip this as cheaply as possible and not give this potentially charming stucco home the life back in it it deserves. Just a cheap coat of awful black paint right now on the trim outside….
