The house was originally listed for 274k and was on the market for a couple of months, the majority of individuals viewing the house were young with children ranging from 2-10 years of age (having 3-4 kids) and needed more bedrooms (probably 5 couples) or were couples that needed to sell their house first (2-3 couples). Of probably 10-12 couples that looked at the house, only one said the house was priced to high and 2 said the 2 bedrooms in the main house were to small. EVERY person or couple that viewed the house loved the guesthouse and thought it was a big positive. My realtor and I decided to take it off the market until summer, the following day the house was put back on the market at 269k we had an offer for 266k which I accepted. We had three appointment that day to show the house, one was less than an hour after the agreed offer so we showed the house to that couple, when they left they wanted to make an offer on the house but I had already agreed to a price with the person before them. I can understand this house not being right for every couple especially ones with a young children but this is the perfect house for someone who is taking care of a parent, relative, a couple with a teenager or would like an office that works from home also one of the couples told me it would be perfect for a man cave. The appraisal for $198.5k was made solely on the main house which is 1950 sq. ft. and absolutely 0 $ value for guest house, the back porch was worth more than an entire complete self contained 600 sq. ft. guest house with central air, heat, full kitchen and bathroom with shower. The house was permitted and built when the main house was built and there was 0 $ value from the appraiser because it was atypical and there were no other comps to use in the neighborhood.
