Lost one 
dems4me said:I think I have finally found a house that is just for me... it's within my price range (will need to do a little finaggling (sp?) on closing cost and ask the seller to help 3% and to go down a smidge on the price). The previous owner has gone to a retirement home and it's my understanding the kids are desperate to sell the house to pay for the retirement. I said if he could go lower on the house I'd personally bake cookies and bring them to the retirement home every day of my life if needed!!! I just really like this place, it's advertised as livable but a fixer upper -- which from where I am now I have plenty of experience and am accustomed at this point to living under those conditions.
I have prequalified and have my handy-dandy prequalification letter already and am set to write up a contract on this house in a few hours!!!! I'm soo excited... I thank the Lord first and all of y'all prayers, and prayers from family and friends. I certainly couldn't have done it without it. And thanks for tolerating the pi*ssn' and moaning and pity parties...I think I am finally on my way to restarting my life and have been blessed at a second chance of home ownership in the area. Also, this place is on 2.5 acres and allows animals because its not a subdivision too!!! Please continue the prayers and well wishes coming my way. God Bless all of y'all, each and everyone of y'all have helped me tolerate such a bleak time in my life.
so when we movin in 
j/k sweety congratulations

Dems, a lot of those web sites aren't updated as fast as the market is moving these days. Do you have a realtor? If you do, then they should be able to help you find a house, otherwise, you're going to find the same thing will keep happening to you. If not, you might have to go with "for sale by owner" houses.dems4me said:
Just a thought.

It's a right off of 235 (going north from LP). Route 4 is the road that goes over the Solomon's Island Bridge, and goes straight to DC from there. I usually take Suitland Parkway to get into DC, but I guess it depends on where you're going.

Dems, I know of a couple of houses that might suit you.
One is near the Food Lion in Charlotte Hall. I haven't seen it personally, but I have a friend who works for the realtor. The price has just been dropped because it's been on the market so long. As I understand, it's not a bad house it's just got some 70s decor and needs major redecorating.
Also, Huntr says there's a house on 6 acres near Golden Beach (with water rights) for $279K. It just went on the market.

There is ONE house, not two.
It is off Golden Beach Rd., just past the "Golden Beach" sign. It has water access rights to Golden Beach. It has been on the market a couple months. Dropped the price about 2 weeks ago 15K to $279K. Needs a lot of interior updating, but you can't beat the price.

But wait, there's more...
That site has the most out of date information on listings! I used it when I was househunting 3.5 years ago and every time I saw something on it, and asked the realtor, they'd say "that went to settlement 3 weeks ago" or "it's sold/off the market/etc.".James White said:
In this market, houses go so fast that the realtors can't keep that site current with their info, and a lot of what you see on there that is outdated (as with the books that have ads for houses for sale) are really just to generate clients for realtors. Dems -- your best bet is to find a realtor you are comfortable working with, and let him/her know what you want, your price range, and the areas you'd consider. They have the most current info b/c they have the MLS right in front of them and will run a search every day for what's new to the market.
John McBride in Charlotte Hall's O'Brien Realty office is a great guy, straight shooter, and knows the area inside and out.

not the best of neighborhoods... is that really bars that are on the windows that arn't broken out??
Her: Yes, but you can remove them if you want a better view.
Me: I'd feel like I was in prison when ever I wanted to look outside. Hey??!! Isn't that a crack pipe in the driveway?
Her... no... if so, just throw it away... Go Dems -- go on.... this is the one for you!!! Shoo!!! Shoo!!!
Me... can you be a little more objective and just act like the real estate person you are?
Her .... I am... that's a great place for you!!!! Can you just act like a normal client?!! Ignore the neighborhood, you are at work most the time anyways... and look at the great commute you would have!!!
Me..... How in the heck did they manage to pay off all the gangbangers NOT to be in THIS picture? It's just hopeless...
Nonetheless, I'm still looking around but most places are in a very, very seedy area... no matter how good
