PLEASE get your price!

OK - I have to admit... now I love the shows, "Flip This House" and "Flip That House". Sure, it seems kindof strange that two networks would have similar shows with only one word differences in their names, but here we are.

So, there's a flip going on on my street. This house is currently for sale. Asking price: $94,900. The flippers bought the house about 3 weeks ago for $60,001. If they get their price, that's a potential profit of $34,899. Not bad! I really hope they get their price. Why? Because it means our house is worth more! Well, maybe not... but the truth is, our house is worth more today than when we bought it. Or at least it should be worth more. God only knows if when we sell it in another 3-5 years if we'll get more than we paid, but all things being equal, we should. And it'd be even easier to get that price if the other houses on our street sell for more. I'm keeping my fingers crossed!
