(OT) House for Sale (mine)
The "association" where I live finally got on my last nerve. John is here
visiting. Since I have to pay to eat at the club (whether I actually eat there or not) we decided to go there for lunch on Saturday. The weather has been slightly cooler due to lots of rain, so we were wearing blue jeans. Oh, sorry, you're not allowed to wear denim. As you may have guessed, I have a temper It's bad enough they charge me to eat food I haven't eaten and for amenities I don't use. Now you're going to tell me how to dress?! I don't *think so*! As we stormed out I was yelling at the top of my lungs. F*** you people! You're not getting another dime from me! An elderly couple happened to be walking up as we left and she had the nerve to "shush" me. I'm normally very polite but she picked the wrong moment to attempt to correct me. So I've listed my house for sale on zillow.com. Know anyone who wants to buy a house in South Carolina where they try to control every aspect of your life AND charge you for the privilege? Jill |

Beware of restaurants with white tablecloths. Good luck with the sale. At least you don't have a mortgage around your neck and can get away free as a bird. BTW, the people across the street from me have listed their house for $419,000. Astonishing. At least there is no homeowners' association to contend with. Bud |

I see prices for homes now that boggle my mind, because I've been in the same house for over 40 years, and the price we paid for this house bears no relation to home prices nowadays. Joy |

Is it astonishing because of how high it is, or how low it is? LOL, I was going to ask the same question! Of course, I don't know how big the house Bud is talking about is, but in my neck of the woods, $419K would buy a smallish house in a pretty good neighborhood. It was *much* worse (ie, prices were much higher) before the 2008 crash. -- Joyce audiophile, n: Someone who listens to the equipment instead of the music. |

Know anyone who wants to buy a house in South Carolina where they try to control every aspect of your life AND charge you for the privilege? Beware of restaurants with white tablecloths. The sad thing is, the "dining room" we were trying to have lunch in is called The Pub. No white tablecloths in site. Lots of leather, heavy wooden tables and a big wooden bar. Who ever heard of not being allowed to wear denim in a pub?! Good luck with the sale. At least you don't have a mortgage around your neck and can get away free as a bird. Thanks. And you're right about the no-mortgage thing... but the wind/hail/flood insurance is coming due and that runs in the thousands. Meanwhile I'm going to ignore the monthly "club bill". I refuse to pay these fidiots another dime. We'll see how long it takes to get a nibble. I am amazed at how many houses on my street are listed on Zillow. Apparently I'm not the only one who wants to get the hell out of Dodge! Jill |

Jill The only thing that surprised me is that you waited so long. IMHO you should also consult witha good lawyer -- one who has had experience with HOAs. Best wishes. MLB |
