I'll probably delete this but for those commenting on the street...it's not bad. these houses are 3-4 houses down from the "maybe" house
they're nice enough. (although I'd hate the driveways so close together lol)
the most problematic part was that house directly across from the maybe house. with that fence around it though maybe it's going to be torn down
it would be a step down from the old neighborhood but still looks perfectly nice to me
They’re nice houses. I like the design of each, but so close together they’re like twins. Wonder who decides to mow the grass between the driveways. 🤷♀️
Not my cup of tea. Way too close together. You are staring into each other's windows. Plus, I don't like driveways that you have to turn to get into the garage. Not a deal breaker but any means but something I am not fond of.
There are more photos (pre-flip) on other real estate websites (e.g. Berkshire Hathaway) that give a better perspective of some rooms - e.g. living room, dining room, and kitchen. I really think this is the one, but I do have some questions...
ETA - holy crap those flippers did a number on this one.
Wow, this house was a fabulous redo. Bought it for $500K. Put in $150K-$200K gutting it. Sold it for $800K and made over a $100K-$150K profit. Not bad.
I have actually looked at that house a couple times The knobs in the kitchen are NOT right h-ers are more curvy and very black
But it’s the staircase Newells-which is the first post -look at the ones behind Jen they lineup... And there is a window beyond and the window is on a wall that doesn’t have the fancy white woodwork
2nd pic is the house in question....That stair case starts at an angle
You can Stop asking Meow for links....its NOT Jen's house Stair Support newels in Jen's house line up....this house they are on an angle
Jens house has a window past the stairs....this house doesnt
The more I look at that picture, I don't think it is her house. Although a lot of other stuff does seem to fit, the alignment of the rooms isn't quite right in that comparison.
It sold last year for $500k so the flippers got $300k for the improvements but the neighborhood is still not a $800k neighborhood.
Yeah, I thought the same thing. Regardless of how nice the house is, it still will be appraised based on comps in the area. Based on that neighborhood, $800K is high. But then they paid it, so maybe they will find another sucker when they go to sell it. Or maybe they don't mind taking a hit on the house. They sure are going to take one when they sell their other house.
The house could also have been put in trust because Don wants to protect the assets of the children. If the house is in a trust then Jen doesn't own it. So if she remarried, her future gigolo gold digger (the only man she will attract) can't touch it. If I was worried about my unstable ex and her inability to manage herself or money, I certainly would see to it that an $800K asset was out of her hands.
Don could have made that a stipulation of the divorce settlement. "I'll buy you a lovely huge house so my children can live in comfort but you, lazy good-for-nothing Hag, isn't going to own it"
Wow, I hate the look of the exterior, no curb appeal at all. But the interior is fabulous. I like that house tons more than her $1.6 one. Well done Jen! ( I won't even call her Hags for this praise). With her braggadocious self, why in the world would she be hesitant to show that? I would be revealing a room a day for content if I were her.
Brown garage door would need to go eventually. Don't like the long bowling alley style backyard at all. Hideous fences. I loathe chain-link fences. If I had extra money those fences would have to be replaced pronto and some landscaping is in needed. Shame all the trees were cut down. It looks so stark. Her neighborhood is nothing special. Looks like it a moderate middle-class neighborhood from the looks of neighboring homes. Long away from her private park and golf course.
On another note, I don't get realtors who don't show every room completely. Just peeks at some of the rooms. That infuriates me. Are you trying to sell the house or not?! Unless there is something you are trying to hide, SHOW THE WHOLE DAMN HOUSE!! Is there a dining room? Eat-in kitchen? Who knows unless I read the description? Are they charged on listings per photos or something?
Can Jen get over her stupid berry containers, already
Can you imagine having no other interests in life but berry containers? Just moved into a new house with a million new things to do and explore and this heifer is focused on berries. No man on earth will ever find her interesting. She doesn't have it in her to be appealing except for her bank account.
I haven't watched the whole vid yet so I'm not sure.
Don't know who she is. But I am always skeptical of people who announce their grand exit from social media. I follow Ann Wheaton, she is the wife of Wil Wheaton of Star Trek fame for you Trekkies out there. She made a big to-do about being tired of Twitter and all the rude comments she receives. Yada yada yada. She said she was deleting the Twitter app from her phone and peace out. I kid you not, one day later she was back. I laughed and laughed. The addiction is real folks. Now, her husband on the other hand, did leave Twitter and has yet to come back. But I dare say, for women, it seems harder to give up probably because we are more social creatures.
I agree-- I think she is enjoying showing tiny peeks at "her" house. The look in her eyes says it all. She is neener neener ing US. I think she reads here and she KNOWS we want to see it so she won't show it until we stop asking for it and lose interest. Snobby bitch at the finest!
This. But truth be told, I can't blame her. If I were her, I wouldn't show it either. We have torn her house and taste to shreds and I am sure she is not eager for more. However, I am not addicted to internet attention like she, so I am sure she won't be able to resist revealing pics in due time.
That’s sort of what happened in the neighborhood my mom lives in. The covenant supposedly said it was to forever remain a golf course, it got sold anyway, and now the legal battle has been going on for 6 years and the course is a wasteland. There was a temporary order that they had to turn the water back on and at least make a half assed attempt at keeping it up during the process but I don’t think that lasted long. Now it’s just stalled forever in the courts.
That is a shame. I am sorry for your mother. Some companies will risk lawsuit in hopes they can wear down the opposition. Filing motion after motion to clog it up in the courts.
As a golfer, I would love to live on a golf course, simply because I could go out at night and play 3 or 4 holes, if I didn't have time to play. I could also practice chipping and putting on that hole, if no one was out just before dark.
But, I don't live on a golf course, but I do live on a lake, so that is good!
Today I am an unhappy homeowner, LOL I'm FINALLY removing the popcorn texture from the walls of my master bathroom. It is so stupid to put that on a wall, it collects dust. In a bathroom, even more stupid! Ugh. I've been sanding to remove it and I've got just one little section left to go and I just needed a quick break, so I am having a glass of tea and reading here for a break
I would love to live on a course, but it’s no longer a guarantee. In Vegas a bunch of courses got bought up, they destroyed the courses and put houses up. In HOA communities where people thought there was no legal chance of it happening. Now the people who paid for the premium course lots are screwed. It’s terrible.
That can happen if there are no restrictive covenants in place that dictate what type of land use is permitted for the golf course. Some covenants will specify land use is restricted to a golf course only as part of development approval. That covenant would also apply to any future buyers of the land. The covenant could allow for some other development upon approval of the entire community or possibly just the abutting homes. If there is no contract between HOA and the golf course, then the owners of the golf course are free to do whatever it wants with the land within its zoning specifications.
It would not be good for kids to be in earshot of my hubby when he plays!🤣

Prestige. Somewhere along the way, golf became synonymous with upper crust. Surrounding homes are priced higher. So if you live on a golf course it means you must be somebody who can afford things. Same way disgusting fish eggs became caviar. Price it higher. Rich people think its decadent and covet it.
There are also some who love the view of the manicured lawns and people watch. My ex has a home on a golf course and he likes to sit out and watch the people play.
We bought on a golf course, but we are not golfers. My husband and teen son will play occasionally as the course we are on is affordable. The reason we bought here is because we like how our home backs up to so much manicured green space and a ton of trees. We know a home will never go in behind us. I don't mind the golf carts. People wave if we are in the yard. We wave back. We collect stray golf balls. Our HOA is cheap and not part of the golf club. We are in a part of the country where back yards are typically not fenced but notice the new track neighborhoods going in have the houses so close together they are fencing some of them. Coming from CA and always having a fenced yard this kinda makes me sad.
Yep, that is what my ex likes. An open view of the lawns. And there is a definite benefit to knowing no neighbors will be backed to you.
