St. Louis Mid-County Neighborhood Real Estate Report -- June 2011


A week ago Friday we saw a "For Sale" pop up on our street and now a second one has emerged, so it must be the summer house selling time in our neighborhood again. Ironically both these home were also for sale last spring but neither of them sold then, but this year they have both lowered the price a little bit, and with the improved economy hopefully one of them will sell. I will do my part by listing both of them here on my blog. The first one to pop up for sale is being sold by a tiny realty firm called "Consort Realty" (tied to Consort Homes builders) and is listed at $469,900 after starting last year at $514K and being lowered later to $499K. This is definitely a better starting point since I see the house already has a offer, but unfortunately it is a contingency contract as listed on the CBGundaker site as "Contingent No Kickout".  I have posted a photo above that I clipped out of Google Streetview for the house, since I like that better than the professional house photo on the listing.


The second house that just popped up for sale is a house that goes on sale every year it seems, but it is at its lowest price yet, $357,000 (it was $362K last year.) Every year since we have moved here the lady there puts her house up for sale, but is has never sold. I wonder what she would do if she actually received a good offer? I also noticed on the Gundaker site once you get your list and click on a listing, if you click on the the "Back to Results" link you get a nice URL you can save forever to be a search link, like this one for my neighborhood. I wonder what the people looking at these homes think of the the fenced off giant hole in the ground on the corner. That does not add much curb appeal to the street. I know the overpriced white elephant on the street has not helped from that eyesore being there so close to it.

No one buy this house even though inquire about it? Maybe the owner need to improve the area,because now a days people who wants to buy a house prefer those place who has a capability to access anything. Maybe it is far from the city?or it is far from there work. Hope that house will sold immediately. Thank you.

The exoteric looks to be in acceptable shape, but the acreage is occupied, so we don't apperceive what the central is like.

Trying out the L'Ecole Culinaire Presentation Room restaurant

Image
We had been seeing the ads for the restaurant at L'Ecole Culinaire and since we live so close by we thought we would try it out. We had always enjoyed dining out at cooking or hotel schools like the CHIC in Chicago and the Statler at Cornell where we went to college. Since we still love to go out and eat here in St. Louis , we ventured over to their restaurant on the first day they were open for lunch. The first thing we noticed is that they do not have much parking! They really need to let patrons know where they are supposed to park. The restaurant itself is small but very well attended. There was one fellow who kept straightening all the centerpieces and place settings on the tables, and we always saw one or two student workers milling about. The lunch menu was small and the choices did not appear overly "gourmet". The special of the day was a bison burger stuffed with cheese, and other choices picked by my group included a club sandwich, a "margherita" pi...

BMI & BMR Calculator (Body Mass Index and Basal Metabolic Rate)

Image
My wife has been researching type 2 diabetes and recently checked a book out of the library which included a body mass index (BMI) chart much like the one pictured here. Whereas it is fairly easy to follow, I, of course, think it must be converted to an online calculator! However, when I checked the Internet, there were already a billion of them so I had to make one that was different. So my lovely BMI BMR calculator accepts either inches or centimeters for your height and pounds or kilograms for your weight and calculates not only your BMI, but also your BMR (basal metabolic rate) which determines how many calories you should consume! So I made a spiffy "all in one" healthy body indicator calculator which not only determines how underweight or overweight you are, but also tells you how many calories you should consume to maintain or improve your ideal weight.

Not all Frosted Window Films are the same!

Image
We live in an older home with a lot of issues and one of them concerns our back door to our patio from our sunroom. The door has double paned glass on it, but unfortunately the seal has broken so you can see moisture collect inside of it. We decided the easiest way to "remedy" the problem was to cover the window with some "frosted" film so we did not have to see the moisture condensing between the panes. But the question was, what film? There are a bunch of them available so we had to select something to try on the door. The first place we tried was our nearby Lowe's store which had a bunch of Gila brand film. We selected what seemed like the typical adhesive based door sized  film that cost about $25 after tax. We thought it could not be that hard to put up and look nice on our door. So one day my wife ran out and purchased it at Lowe's and we commenced to install it on our door window. We made our own soapy water solution and followed the directions...
