Wait, wait, wait, let me guess! It's been hard to come by, but you've been hoping that a home would soon come on the market in Wheeling that's close to EVERYTHING you might need, is only 1 block away from Wheeling H.S., has been fully updated with a stunning kitchen that boasts shaker cabinets w/ elegant crown molding, tons of counter space draped w/ crisp white quarts and accented with a beautiful backsplash, ceramic flooring & all new stainless steel appliances. And you were just telling your friends that you would hope it would come with beautifully done oak floors throughout and maybe even have an intricate accent wall that guests would compliment any time they visited. And you said you wouldn't mind if the bathroom was as luxurious as the kitchen and maybe even featured jets in the bathtub with really nice tile work and modern fixtures, so you could relax when you had the chance. And you insisted that it must have a brand new A/C for those hot days, brand-new windows, a brand-new water heater, a brand-new concrete driveway, a brand-new 100 amp electrical panel w/ new outlets, switches and modern light fixtures, and new siding on the garage. And you also said you wouldn't be satisfied if the house and garage didn't have a roof that was less than 2 years old. And you were not going to be OK if it didn't have a spacious backyard for entertaining & hanging out. And you were just thinking that if it did become available, it probably wouldn't last very long, because homes like this in Wheeling usually don't. And so, you would be the first to schedule a showing and submit an offer before everyone else finds out about it. I know, I know...you were just hoping and thinking about it, but didn't believe it could really happen.

As a licensed real estate brokerage, Estately has access to the same database professional Realtors use: the Multiple Listing Service (or MLS). That means we can display all the properties listed by other member brokerages of the local Association of Realtors—unless the seller has requested that the listing not be published or marketed online.
The MLS is widely considered to be the most authoritative, up-to-date, accurate, and complete source of real estate for-sale in the USA.
Estately updates this data as quickly as possible and shares as much information with our users as allowed by local rules. Estately can also email you updates when new homes come on the market that match your search, change price, or go under contract.
