Recently Sold Houses and What They Sold For
I always find it interesting to see recently sold houses and what they sold for ( I know, it is grammatical heresy to end a sentence with a preposition). Man, these cheap old houses are selling like hotcakes, though. This batch, however, had no dramatic price increases or decreases.
263 Washburn Rd, Unadilla, NY 13849 $30,000 Sold for $33,000
OHU50K NOTES
My father-in-law always wanted to buy property in Unadilla, New York. Located at the meeting place of the Unadilla and Susquehanna Rivers, Unadilla is the quintessential upstate New York town.
This sweet farmhouse for sale on 1.3 acres is outside of town and far from the rivers, so flooding should not be an issue there. Lovely views of lush green rolling hills are your’s to enjoy. The owner is also selling an adjacent 116 acres of farmland for $175,000.

Welcome to Under $75K Thursday!
Oh, to have a place in the country. This handyman special farmhouse sits on two acres in Secor, Illinois. Note the beautiful natural woodwork, including staircase, hardwood floors, pocket doors, doors and trim. I wish they had raised the shade so we could see the stained glass.

Downtown Paris ARTWALK, has become a major social and artistic event in downtown Paris. The Nannine Clay Wallis Arboretum and house museum on Pleasant Street is a short walk away, where trees planted in the 1850s still exist along with daylilies, roses and an abundance of other flowers. Admission is free.
The Hopewell Museum, also located on Pleasant Street, is a Beaux Arts building built in 1909 which served as the area’s first post office. That is free, too, and Duncan Tavern is a c.1788 stone structure that houses an extensive genealogical collection that you can tour.
The Vardens Building on Main Street is a Victorian building that served as the Vardens and Sons Druggists store from 1888 to 1953. Inside is South African mahogany apothecary cabinets with Tiffany stained glass windows. And if you walk over to the Paradise Cafe on Main Street, you can enjoy some viddles in Ripley’s Believe It or Not world’s tallest three-story structure.

203 Willard Dr, O Fallon, IL 62269 $50,000 Sold for $44,000
OHU50K NOTES
A lot of work has already been completed on this c.1900 fixer upper in O’Fallon, Illinois. Located at the end of a dead-end street in a low-crime neighborhood, the home has new storm windows, gutters, roof, HVAC and more.
Although this fixer upper has been reduced $15,000 since it was first put on the market in September 2019, I think additional reductions are needed to offset the costs of projects still needed. In addition to the work that is plain to see, the home requires new electrical and plumbing.
