What’s flying off MLS faster than you can say “Hip Pocket Listing?” Modern everything. Midcentury Modern, Contemporary, and plain ol’ modern homes are so in demand right now. What’s even better, especially for 7117 Lyre Lane, is that if it’s remodeled, it fetches top dollar, too.
I am an amateur equestrian (read: I haven’t been on horseback in oh, say, 8 years). However, if I had a few million dollars and plenty of time on my hands, I would jump at the chance to own horses. But if you’re more than an amateur equestrian and you’ve got a few million dollars, then you should jump at the chance to have a stallion breeding facility in none other than Mustang, Texas.
If there ever was a deal on a beautiful Midcentury Modern, 3212 Mapleleaf Circle is it, folks. For just $325,000 you can not only own this gorgeous modern home with beautiful architectural details, but you can live in Oak Cliff, an area that is appreciating head and shoulders above most of Dallas.
If you want to rent a single-family home, sometimes the best way to find one is to drive around in the neighborhood you want to move to and look for a “For Lease” sign with a hand-written telephone number.
Sure, it’s time consuming and uses a ton of gas, but it’s better than combing through the crappy pictures on Craigslist, right? But what if you’re looking to rent in an area where “For Lease” signs are shunned. What if you don’t have time to tote a kid around while you drive up and down blocks looking for your next lease? What if you’re looking in a very specific area for very specific reasons, such as a school district? Where can you look?
Last week’s Tuesday Two Hundred was a super-modern and sleek one-bedroom, one-bath townhome/bachelor pad on Cole Avenue. This week’s Tuesday $200K is also perfect for a bachelor, especially one who would prefer to have an office and a couple of closets.
