 Now you can dig up the dirt on a property all online! San Francisco Planning Department lets you dig up a property's history from rent control, complaints, historical status, zoning, permits and more! This is super useful for anyone who is planning on buying a place or even renting. You can not always rely on the landlord or seller's disclosures (because they might not know themselves either). I wish every city made this info as readily available as SF. It's like Carfax, but for houses!  In other Canadian chanteuse news, KD Lang has sold her private Beverly Glen home to a member of Maroon 5 for $1.9M. Check out those pix! Somehow I just knew KD Lang's home wouldn't be designed with florals, pastels and curves. Looks like a logger's dream home! Congrats on the sale, KD! The Canadian songbird Celine Dion is selling her nest for $29M. This 24,000 sq ft Montreal estate was built in 2001 to resemble at French Norman castle....and it looks, well, like a 2001 French Norman knock-off. But I ain't knockin' Celine! Tastes aside, anyone who rockets from a poverty-stricken childhood into international celebrity thru hard work and talent has earned the right to live in a chateau fascimile!
 Let me clear up any confusion. Contrary to popular belief, a fireplace by the tub is not meant to create a romantic ambiance. No! It's to light up a smoke while you're soaking! Ma & Pop as Housemates?! It used be shameful to move back in with the parental units as an adult. But with unemployment sky high & cost of living rocketing, 3 out of 10 Gen X/Gen Y/Millenials are living back home. Don't be ashamed! Embrace it! Here's why: The Advantages of Adults Living in Parents' House -- powered by ehow
A Mississippi real estate agent from Bob Leigh Realtors showed home buyer Terry Jordan a house 3 times & then sold it to her. Terry then spent thousands on a new roof, electrical & plumbing and in the process discovered the county records didn't quite match her house. Her realtor fessed up: "I don’t know how to tell you this but we might have sold you the wrong house” What?! How can this happen? Oh wait, it's Mississippi. Things are done a bit different in the country. |
