Question - Pickman Condos - Salem, MA

My wife and I are on year 4 of a 5 year ARM @ 4.5% and we are ready to get out of the townhouse/condo life and get a home. Unfortuantely we paid about $285,000 for the townhouse about 4 years ago at 0 down (FTHB Loan), so at this point we probably owe about $260-265K on the place and I'm nervous (to say the least) about what my place could fetch, HOWEVER - I have seen plenty of units and there are probably few (if any) with the types of upgrades we have made in the past 1-2 years (new wood floors/stairs in living room area, new deck (with timbertek), new windows, kitchen recently updated). Now we are in a good position financially and can afford a home in the $500K area at this time, but I'm pretty worried about being able to break even on the condo. Now if need be, I could take a hit on the place, but I was just curious as to what local realtors are seeing for these units - which are pretty big (1700 sq feet).

Somehow your question got posted in the Salem, Oregon section. You might want to repost it to Salem, Mass so agents there can help you.
