The market for some entry level houses is hot

The market for entry level Eastside houses is hot. Listing Realtors will often advertise a one hour opportunity to view the house shortly after listing and frequently prospective Buyers and their Realtors will line up before the advertised time followed by a mass walk through. Houses in the $550K to $700K price range - if realistically priced - will often sell within a few days around asking price.
Two issues to investigate before lining up: height of ceiling in lower level and size of usable lot (lot minus right of way, covenant or other restriction).
