Colorful Kitchen

When searching for a new home you sometimes find that people have unusual tastes. We have encountered rooms with hand painted murals, bright red or blue colored carpet and walls, but this kitchen has to be one of the most bizarre things we have seen. There must be a reason for the colors, but I haven't been able to figure it out.

If you ever wondered why they seldom post interior photos of homes that are bank owned or in foreclosure, this next photo should help explain. The outside of this home looked okay, but as you can see from this photo of the utility area, the interior is rather scary looking.

I have found that if the home has a nice looking furnace room, the rest house will most likely follow suit. Both of these homes listed for over $150k. I guess the location must be of value, because the interior certainly isn't. The home that you see in the previous post was much better looking inside then this. I was told that US Bank decided to foreclose on the property instead of allowing the owner to sell the home to me. I found many complaints online about how US Bank handles short sales, so I wasn't surprised. It's almost June and my pre-approval is due to expire, which means that I'll have to extend my apartment lease and restart the financing and home search process again. No wonder the housing market is in such bad shape.
