PLEASE CONTACT YOUR REAL ESTATE AGENT FOR MORE INFORMATION? AUCTION STYLE SALE . .. NOT A SHORT SALE, REO OR DISTRESSED PROPERTY.

Why did they list it at $1.3 million a day before and do auction with an min bid at $705k?  Trying to give buyers hint on the target price?

Anyone know if this house sold?  Wonder how the auction approach worked out.

Rumor is they got a highest offer of 1.2 million but they were still taking back up offers.

If you cant sell for $1,490,000 after 161 days, raise the price by $450,000 and hope it sells faster....

Those horrible pictures doesn't help either.  Why the real estate agent didn't hire a professional photographer is beyond me. 

Greedy agent who wants to save a few hundred bucks.. the listing also looks to have incorrect size info.  4800 sq ft on a 5075 sq ft lot?  Doesn't sound right to me.  This agent needs to take some math and reading classes as well.

Plan 3 Portisol @ $1.05 million.  Let's see, the previous model match closes at $939k and this one is worth 100k more?  The agent even lies about the square footage of the house to make the price per sq ft more in-line with the comps.  Sneaky sneaky...

Haha. You beat me to it. I was going to wait to see pictures before passing judgment ;)

The zillow link has the pics up -http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/76-Loganberry-Irvine-CA-92620/64450231_zpid/
 
The one thing about some of these Portisol homes is even though the lots aren't huge there is good setback from your back neighbor and from the street (I like it when hoods have that sidewalk and then grass berm before the street).

No in your face back wall in these homes.
 
$700k jump in 4 years? 2 Templeton is drinking some crazy sauce.

But it is HUGE... 4400sf? The floorplan is pretty good (all the spaces you need). Not a fan of the Porte Cochere but at least this one has a basketball hoop.

May be Paris was right.  New Groves are cheaper than resale in NP? ;D

The same realtor previously listed a house in NP that we all thought was WTF.  Looks like that sold too with only a minor reduction in price.  Guess if you list it they will buy  :mad:

I think she was saying similarly priced and that's definitely right. 

Take a look at this $1.725M NP beauty:

Some posters here say you can just ignore asking price, but most are at least loosely based on comps.
These sellers probably aren't going to back down unless there's a correction.

4400 sf is huge BUT 2.3 mil and it's not even a 3CWG?!

WTF, Taylor Woodrow!

Is NP home to the crazy WTF asking price?

Either that or maybe I'm missing something on this $552/SF ($2.3M) gem in NP.
http://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/2-Templeton-92602/home/5770592

Listing says 10K SF lot, but checking the map, it really doesn't look that big.

I'll hit the open house on Saturday then pop by OS' to listen to some white people music and sip chardonnay. 
#nevergonnagiveyouup

Nice house, but no way that lot is 10k.

What comp is templeton based on?  I don't see anything that traded for $500+psf in northpark in the last 6 months. Only checked stuff over $1m.  Did I miss one?

I dont know, but I'd be curious to see what the last NP home with a 10K lot sold for, since that's what this one supposedly has.
It may be that there are no such homes/comps in NP.

I just read the description and even the description has lies in it! 

"The downstairs den/office can be easily converted into a fifth bedroom. "  If converted it would be the FOURTH bedroom.  So the layout is really 3 bedrooms + 1 office.

Here's another funny statement -  "The oversized premium lot is a entertainers delight."  3600 sq ft lot is considered an oversized premium lot?  haha
