PRICED $40,000 below the neighbor with no Pool!"

This is what was printed on a sell sheet that was on the Internet. Well, we thought it sounded just like what we are looking for. DW & I set out with our realtor today and had to choose 6 homes out of 45 to look at. Well, we compiled our list, agreed to the homes we wanted to look at and went off on our expedition.

The above photos are what are posted on the internet sales sheet. Granted, this was our first home we stopped at on our homes tour. We arrived at 10:00 a.m. for the showing. The place looks nice with a nice sized pool but nothing over the top. We are not looking for the "CASTLE" of homes, just something landscaped with a pool in the back to hang out and enjoy. When we arrived at the property, we GASPED and looked at each other in disbelief of what was in front of our eyes. This couldn't be the home we saw on the internet could it?? We were in TOTAL shock and thought "Oooooh Boy this is going to be one long morning"! We were here so we walked through it anyway. We made an offer and they excepted it. Hope you all can fly down and help us with the landscaping. It shouldn't take too long to fix it up. LOL! Just kidding. We didn't put an offer in and we ran as FAST as we could off to the other properties!

Here is the photo of the house when we arrived. I can't imagine being the neighbors on either side of this house having to look at this every day. When we pulled up, both DH & DW noticed one of the next door neighbors peek through their blinds to see what was going on. If it were us, we would have been saying BUY IT!!!
Puhhhh LEeeeezzzzzzzzzzzz!!

This is the photo we took of the back yard. Now in looking back at the photos they have posted on the internet for this property, we are STUNNED they can still have those up. What a complete disappointment to show up and see this. We hope you all can understand what we were feeling seeing this as our first choice........ Sigh! Off to the next property "THANK GOD"!!


Here's the photo of the next place we stopped to look at. Seems ok at first, but wouldn't you know it, right before we get to the entrance to have a peek, we see this!

Oh My God! How can this be possible?? Yep that's Bird Shit!!! Apparently they "Cop A Squat" here in the desert also. Who da thunk! LOL!

Here is the FABULOUS pool as they mentioned on the internet. Sigh....................
After leaving this STUNNING beauty, we were off to the next property.

In doing so, we passed this lovely home that we didn't have on our list. It has been added so we can pursue the details. It looked VERY nice with beautiful landscaping. Hopefully we'll get a peek at it VERY soon. We can't post anymore photos on this particular blog. We will post another so you can see the one home we really did like and would possibly put an offer in. We think we can buy it right!!
