Interesting Developments

The house immediately south of ours has been on the market since we started looking at our house, which was back in September of last year. As the price dropped and dropped, finally an offer was made by a couple; $30,000 was the going rate. Ethan and I had toyed with the idea of letting the house get to around $10K and just buying, tearing it down and having a double lot. I'm still hoping it will burn down in the middle of the night...
Seeing as the couple haven't really done anything with the property in the last few weeks since the 'sold' sign went up, we became a bit suspicious. Today a notice that the plumbing and sewer were being disconnected due to non-payment went up. Lo and behold, the house is back on the market for $22K. My hope is that we can find out how much it is to tear it down, and make a seriously low-ball cash offer and just buy the ugly thing. It would be nice to never look at it again, and actually have a real yard with space for a garden and room for Ludo (and maybe a foster dog) to run around in. We'll see what happens.
