Today’s Home Buyers ?

Sunday, June 20th, 2004

As I walked up Home Avenue toward a home being offered for sale, three female “Youts” , as Cousin Vinnie would say, arrived on bikes to check out the home. It’s a basic old small “cute” $600K starter home. A bit of an anomaly to me, seeing a group arriving on bicycles to find out about a $600K home. But then again, that’s just a basic home around here. The bikes, more notable to me than the young ladies, had raised-up handlebars. After some reflection, all I can figure out is that this for style, not function.

The home is listed for $650K. It’s 1092 square feet.

I continued my walk but regretted not getting a picture of the bikes. Later, as I was passing by Dini’s by the Sea restaurant, I saw the three bikes tethered to a pole outside. I guess the three were in there reflecting on their day. Here are pictures of the house and the bikes.
