        This comes with an Aerus Air Scrubber and an Ecobee smart thermostat and sensor to ensure I can keep the basement and upstairs temps nearer to each other and at least some cooking smells don't permeate.

        And to continue what Josh C. was writing, once you have the comps, get an estimate of the repair costs plus 10%, and subtract that from the price, and subtract a little more for bargaining room.I have gotten estimates of work just by calling around to a few subcontractors (plumber, electrician, clean-the-nicotine-stained-everything guys, carpet guys) before I made an offer.

        Here is what we found out about our property that was a cute little cottage:PGE during the winter time was $400 a month, for a 750 sq ft 2 bdrm 2 ba apt, that was rediculious.During the summer, the PGE was great, but without central heating and air, the house was smokin' all summer.The building was built in 1930 with no upgrades, so no insulation in the walls or the ceilings.We never really paid attention to the fact that all the big windows were plexiglass and not glass windows so the heat permeates into the house all summer long.The new gas furnace that we initially installed, did not heat the 2nd bedroom because of it's location in the house, so during the winter the only way that room gets heat is to turn on the stove and the heater (hence the high bill besides the heat escaping through the walls and windows).Since we have lived here we have been able to address each of these issues.

        so first .. we have this shooting in AZ which has nothing to do with political rhetoric,  suddenly the entire media is telling everyone to tone it down, etc. etc. it's all the place over - lets use softer language , blah , blah blah.. .. and now i come to my favorite real estate web site and find that the mentality has permeated ever deeper.
