Yesterday we went to IJselstein to look at a house. My sister has hired a real estate agent to help with buying a house and he was there. I liked the house, though the downstairs was dark. Partially because of the trees in front, but also because of the colours used to decorate the room (greens and greys) and some dark furniture. I loved the attic and the garden was a nice size. There was a storage unit behind the garden, great for bikes and tools. My sisters realtor didn't think the house would sell for much over asking price.

Yeah, I'd have ye olden buckets of primer and paint out PDQ. That green, for me, would have to GO.

However, the neighbourhood is working class, with a mixture of ethnicities, very similar to the neighbourhood my sister lives in now. The house is on the edge of the section of the neighbourhood of houses build in the 1970s and apartment building (from the front you look out on those). This makes my sister hesitate. But because of the neighbourhood you get a better price.

So...does this mean it's moving
downward in value? In neighborhoods with changing demographics, yes, that can be a bit of a crapshoot.

We went into the old center of IJselstein. It's small (one street), but it's got all the basics. There's a supermarket almost around the corner.

After I had to make 3 U-Turns to get to the grocery today, for one lousy thing on my way home, BOY that sounds good!!!

The house in De Meern we are going to see next week is similar in size, but €50,000 more and my sister's realtor said that location usually means you have to overbid by 10%, which means it's probably out of our price range. But she still has to talk to her mortgage person, so we'll have to wait and see.

Do we have a URL for this one? De Meern?
