House For Sale, 'As-Is'

A muddy floor
       a creaky door
     The paint is peeling
       two gaps in the ceiling

     The grass is brown
       tree branches down
     Fence gate's rusty
       furniture's dusty

     Windows don't close
       electric wires exposed
     Fuses constantly blow
       the fridge is not cold

     Realtor held an open house 'as-is'
       Not one offer ~ That's 'show-biz'

Like Jeff says it definitely has cooled down Gershon and a bidding war was surely to happen. Loved the As is theme Milton big smile...

Not long ago, folks would outbid each other for that. Market has definitely cooled

And the market is definitely very 'uncool' as well...
