The price has been reduced a few times, hut it still has not sold. It's just what I want and the price seems right. Should I avoid it on the premise that if it s been for sale this long. something must be wrong? ANSWER: The fact that the house has not sold for a long time may be to your ad vantage. If there are no struc tural defects, and it meets your basic needs, there is a good possibility that it is an excel lent buy non. It may have been overpriced at the outset. QUESTION: what is the best type of house to build on a sloping lot? ANSWER: The split level home is ideal for the sloping lot or uneven terrain. Well- designed ones are truly hand some and fit nicely into their surroundings. A good split- level home combines some of the best points o f one-story and two-story construction.
