"Our rented condo is supposedly worth $460k (based on a current listing in the building). And yet we can’t believe that this piece of crap is worth any more than $150k."

And yet…SO and I can’t believe that this piece of crap is worth any more than $150k. It’s 6 years old, and every morning and night we have the privilege of listening to what we’ve dubbed “Niagara Falls”-water gushing down the pipes in the wall whenever the people upstairs flush the toilet/have a shower/wash their hands. We moved our bed so the water gushing isn’t above our heads (heaven forbid a pipe bursts) and SO has taken to yelling “Quit peeing!” whenever the water starts to gush. As a bonus, we’re beside a corridor which leads outside, we can hear people clomping down the stairs ALL THE WAY from the 4th floor! Starts at about 6am every morning as people rush out to get to work.
Dear God, I’m so glad I didn’t buy this place, because I would be planting pipe bombs in the developer’s mailbox right about now. This market has got to correct, if only because owners are pissed enough to realize they’ve bought into a garbage wood-frame building.”
