That'll do wonders for our "comps"

Longtime readers may remember this post [The Multnomah Villager: Police action]... Well, here's how the whole series of events has played out. No, I don't know what became of any of the residents, but the house has moved on to bigger and better things.

Some time ago now, the renters left and the house began an extensive renovation. New roof - new pretty much everything. Landscaping, new turf, new windows, carport was freshened up and a very short time ago a for sale sign went up on the former den of iniquity. We eagerly awaited the information flyers to find out how much it was going to be. rumors were rampant of a hefty price. Several nieghbors strolled across the street to grab a flyer when they went up.

$499,000!

This was like 3 weeks ago. At the end of last week, I noticed a "sale pending" sticker up on the sign. This neighborhood's getting expensive. At this rate, the 2-and-a-half story place back there off of 36th is going to be 800 grand.
