We have made no secret about our reason for staying a week in Klamath Falls, Oregon, we think we might like to move there. To that end we have been perusing Zillow for a while looking for possible homes that we might like. We narrowed it down to a price range we think should be attainable if we sold the Bogardus Estate in Aiken. It has been fun “window shopping”, but now it is time narrow down the list of twenty odd homes that Mr. Zillow provided us with.
We spent pretty much the whole of Monday morning and then a little of the afternoon just driving by about 8 houses. We dismissed about half of them after seeing them in their natural habitat because we didn’t like the neighborhood. Amazing how different a house and its street looks in 3D real life as opposed to the satellite and street views Google provides.
But we discovered almost that many to add to the list because we happened to drive by them as we drove through neighborhoods between the ones on our list. And we found one that was almost perfect, except it is about $20k above what we want to spend and it is at the top of a steep hill.1
This evening we did a little more Zillow searching and found a couple new listings to drive by and look at in the morning. And then to balance it out we dropped two that were on the bubble. The blue pins with the white squares on the above map represent what our current possibles are.
