If I were a hamster…I too would want to escape from that mess and possibilty of being incenerated by flames too!

Thanks for the clarification on the pit bulls: I was afraid the “as is” part of the listing meant you had to take them with the house, which I would only consider if they would clean the place for me (probably by eating most of the contents). Although if I was being foreclosed, I wouldn’t clean either; the owners probably can’t afford movers. As for the hamster, I think it should be released from custody and escorted off the premises: we had a hamster escape from its cage once, and we found its mummified corpse a couple of years later in the back of a closet. (Apparently hamsters don’t have that great a sense of direction–could come from all that time spent running around a wheel.)

It's in a not-so-good part of Mesa at that!

How in the world are they asking $200,000 for that mess?? We have a house in Mesa and if we tried to sell our home we could barely list it for that.
Good luck with that one.

Actually, knowing pitbulls as I do, I would think the place would be tidier. They're downright fastidious compared to the people who seem to own that place. (And they don't need much stuff – a chewy toy, some snacks & they're good to go.)

My first thought as I looked at those pictures: "Short sale."

Bingo.

My second thought: "It's not just messy because they're packing to move; that's some well-established chaos, there." I'm getting a headache just thinking about dealing with that mess, and I live 1500 miles and an entire Internet away.

What a charming hovel. *shudder* I guess the warning about it being a short sale and the house containing pit bulls is to make sure perspective buyers don't simply drop by and end up as dog snacks.

By the way, the Arizona real estate market has taken a lot of hits, and inventory was out of control for a while there.

Just saying, not only is that a 200k pit that might have contained demonic hamsters, it appears to be an overpriced on, at that.

Plenty of places for a hamster to hide out. But I am worried about the pit bulls hunting it down- run, hamster, run!

The hamsters may be in "protective custody" with pit bulls around.
