  1. Everyone took this week off huh?

    This is a nice 2/2 with all the amenities. It also doesn’t face south, which is where an empty lot is which, inevitably, will be built on.

    I will do the market conditions update with the November sales data and then take the rest of the week off. Lol.

    things I like

    I actually love split bedroom floor plans. If you have a roommate, that means enhanced privacy. And if you are a couple, then someone can work remotely and take calls and not disturb whomever is in the bedroom.

    HOA is fine too for this location, included items, unit size, etc.

    one thing I don’t like

    that fitness room could be improved

  5. completely agree building is UGLLLEEEE

    but at least it has 2000s internals vs a lot of the 1970s alternatives in the Gold Coast.

    taxes at 13k feel a little high to me

  6. “taxes at 13k feel a little high to mec”

    About right if it had kept up with CPI.

    Someone needs to let Fritz know that the Starbucks is gone.
