"1,700 square foot home for $360,000? Any he built it himself to boot!!!"

The reason it's so cheap for the 1,700sq is because he built it himself.

One up the street from me is just under 1,500sq and it went for 425,000, buyers were fighting to get it.

I have a feeling he was building that home, to put it on market, then when the problems arose, Oh it's my home!
