During the weekend I did a lot at our Vilgāle apartment, fixed some electric plugs, painted walls, and installed the floor, but first things first - it was agreed to save huge on the floor by choosing laminate instead of parquet.
We paid less than EUR 9/m2 for laminate and saved on installation as I did it myself. Parquet would cost about EUR 40-50/m2.

After some thinking, I decided to list for sale our Vilgāle apartment.
I bought this apartment about two years ago in an online auction, paying about EUR 4,000. During the past two years, we have done some serious renovation with a total investment being closer to EUR 18,000.
Today I bought my first flat on an online auction site
I decided to list it for EUR 25,000 on local ss.lv website, here is the advert:

After first 24 hours there haven't yet been any call for this property, which means the listing price might be to high, or just simply there are not enough interest / money. I guess it will take some 1-2 years before I will actually sell this place, and fine with that. Mean time I will use it as a storage and maybe will finish the bathroom.
If I wont be able to sell it by the end of August 2022 for 25,000 or get any interesting offer - I will re-lsit it for EUR 26,000 with better futures for the Winter season.
