You Know You Live in a Fixer-Upper When...

...you seem to get more flyers from contractors on your front steps than all your neighbors.
While we're at it, the flyer we got today said 'mention this ad and get 30% off!' 30% off!!?? And that would be off of the 130% starting price, I presume...

Wow, that is citified living for sure. Thankfully not contractors or anybody else comes up our road to leave flyers.

That reminds me of a flyer we got sometime last year - It said "We will give you top dollar for your house in its current condition.." I flipped out, and ranted and raved about how could they insinuate that our house was a bad shape, etc, till my other half pointed out it went to everyone in the neighborhood...
"Yes, but their houses deserve It!"...

I took it as a HUGE compliment that I didn't get any gardener flyers this year. We still get a bunch of contractor ads, though. Sigh.

Wow! This really hit home with me because we get these kind of flyers ALL the time! We also get the mail about "we will buy your house"! A man knocked on the door recently and asked if the house was for sale!
When the house was originally being purchased the realtor involved actually want to sell us a house in a different neighborhood (so that he could have this house to sell!)
I know that I live in a nice area and there hasn't been a shortage of quests for homes in my area but sometimes it can get downright annoying if not intrusive!
