Real Estate Doesn't Make Sense

Real Estate in Omaha just doesn't make any sense to me. Look at this house.



8300 square feet

Historic landmark home

Excuse me? What?

Fabulous Retro House

One of my favorite time wasters if browsing available real estate for funky gems. I found a really great one a couple months ago. Check out this next one. It's so fabulously bad! I want to move in and leave everything as is.







Can you believe these bedrooms? They simultaneously make me want to gag and make me a little bit jealous. They're just so outrageously mid-century hip. I want to set my hair in curlers and lounge on that bed in my house coat while I cook a pot roast and wait for my husband to get home from his job at the phone company.







For real? Gold plush carpet?



I also found this house that piqued my interest. I don't so much want to move in, but I would like to meet the people who are selling it. Judging by their home decor, I think we could be friends.

Drooling Over Real Estate

If I had half a million dollars, I would buy this house. The architecture is insane! Look at those widows! And the floor! And the fireplace! And the ceiling! Look at it in all of its 1950s glory:







And if half a bazillion dollars for a house seems like too much, I'd also settle for this one at only $250K. Peep the size of the refrigerator! This one is actually bank owned on a default so $250K is an absolute freaking deal. It's valued at $490K.
