Someone wanted it more than I did. It went contingent today. My offer is a backup.

It's not the only one there. I'm sure you will find a good deal and end up probably happier.
They don't fly much but can run pretty fast. About 25mph. I see them on the dear lease.
I didn't see any heat or AC registers on the walls or floor. What up with that?Someone wanted it more than I did. It went contingent today. My offer is a backup.
They're in the floors.
Basement?They're in the floors.
Hwy 60 you say? Been up and down that road many, many times. Former resident of Globe. Wish I were still there.
Crawlspace. Had me baffled because there's no outside access to get under the house. We found a trapdoor in a bedroom closet.Basement?
Could never understand why a house in the desert wouldn’t have a basement. I’ll never forget visiting a former RFC member in Florida to check out his most awesome kimber collection. Beautiful home but no basement. Then he told me a story when he had a 6 foot pile of dirt in his gorgeous white living room to access a failed sewer pipe. What a nightmare. For me, no basement, no sale. Plus there’s no place for the boogie man to live.Crawlspace. Had me baffled because there's no outside access to get under the house.

Very, very few basements here in Houston. We are 50 feet above sea level. I've dug 10 to 12 foot deep holes for different projects in the past and the next day I look down in the hole and there is 12 inches of water. Not necessarily a good place to have basements.
When basements are expensive to build , they dont get built. Arizona has a a lot of caleche , basically the ground is natural cement, Very expensive to excavate. In Florida , the water table is very high, and or the sandstone sub strata very thin.Basements flood or become sinkholes.Could never understand why a house in the desert wouldn’t have a basement.

Me I like houses built on or into hills, So my basement is a walkout , and still well above the low spot on the property. I have never owned a house that needed a sump pump.
My basement is walk out through the garage which is street level. No sump pump, no flooding, except for water leaking in one of the sunken slider basement windows during a very heavy rain, which it fixed. Broken water heater and clogged slop sink cause minor water issues. but my basement slopes to one corner where there is a plug, take out the plug and the water that would gather in that corner goes right down the drain. Cat litter and water on the floor makes a mess, ask me how I know. Dehumidifier runs all summer to keep the dank smell out because the basement is below grade as we are on a hill. Terraced property and I hump the lawn mower up two 3 foot high walls.When basements are expensive to build , they dont get built.

All red clay around here. Up on top of the hill which is the palasades, its a plateau on granite, any basements require dynomite.
Don't need to do that unless the house is on a slab. Crawlspace allows access to utility stuff under the house.Could never understand why a house in the desert wouldn’t have a basement.

Hope you have better luck with your house than I did with mine
Anything anywhere near a flood zone is a deal breaker for me

Same here. One of the first things I check. I've seen some really nice homes for cheap in the area I'm looking but some of them can become riverfront property during the AZ monsoon season.Anything anywhere near a flood zone is a deal breaker for me
In Phoenix the ground is pretty much rock and it often requires blasting to make a hole for a pool. A basement is expensive.Could never understand why a house in the desert wouldn’t have a basement.
