Woohoo! I sold my house in Alexandria last year for top dollar. The poor slob that bought it is probably going to lose money on it.
We sold our house here in Springboro, OH, for about 15% more than what we paid for it 10 years ago; but if you factor in the additions (fence, deck, improvements) and the cost of the realtor, etc., we made only a slight profit. However, we did sell, when NO ONE else was selling in our area, which I attribute to my wife's good design taste and generally clean housekeeping.
