50% Loss in Real Estate (or more)

[SacRenter_IHB]

Found on Sacramento Flippers in Trouble blog.

49.9% of high sales price. 50.9% reduction from MLS listing high.

2963 Joerger St, Rancho Cordova

It's been on the market since 04/2006 so the agent remarks to "go see it now, this one will not last" are particularly humorous.

Counts in my book.

1250 S. Garsney has been on Redfin 281 days, yet the Realtard still claims "This property will not last."

Amazing. I predict a ton of sub $200k SFRs in Santa Ana's future. With fathers standing in their front yards being gunned down by gang members (just north of this property) in broad daylight, and craphole houses - there is a long way 'til bottom.

I am amazed that anyone payed $260k+ for a 1950's era 1-bedroom apartment. If you had told me that 4 years ago, I would have laughed until my stomach hurt.

 

[freedomCM_IHB]

OMG!

$190 dues, plus PITI, even at $100k has got to be $12.5k/yr.

i doubt you can get more than $700/month rent for that.

and who would want to live there?

How about being a brand new homeowner and STILL have to do you laundry in the community laundry room!?

You could get a ventless washer/dryer combo. Won't work as well as the real thing, but good enough for a bachelor to launder his own undergarments.

Looks to me like condo conversion from an apartment. This happened a lot during the bubble. I don't know how to find out if that's what your looking at here. Based on the pics I see no reason to ever buy this place without the expectation of continued price apprecation that was present during the bubble. I predict the sellars will have a hard time unloading this place.

1986 ORANGE AVE Costa Mesa

I can't believe someone got this for $430K. That would have been absolute steal. The sale date for the $430K is the date of the foreclosure. Are you sure that $430K wasn't just one of the loan amounts that was foreclosed on?

I'm 99.99% sure that the 430K is the foreclosure on the 1st.

it hasn't come back on the market yet, though.

maybe someone with some chops can look up the lein situation.

 

[CM_Dude_IHB]

I would be shocked if the CM house really went for $430k... If so, I need to start paying MUCH closer attention!

 

[CM_Dude_IHB]

Zillow shows the February 2008 sale as $849,000. The only sub-$400k SFRs I have seen in Costa Mesa are in bad neighborhoods and are piles of crap.

[stepping_up_IHB]

Exactly... It will be interesting to see what it sells for when it comes on the market. I'll bet anyone here $1 that it won't be for 53% off the last sales price

The original lot at 1986 Orange was 15,150 Sq. Ft. The property was then subdivided, this year. The SFR on a 7,600 sq. ft. lot, sold for $849K and the remaining 7,500 sq. ft. lot sold for $430K. The total sale was for $1.279M and escrow closed on 2/6/2008. This was not an REO transaction.

Not sure how the new "thanks" works - so manual THANK YOU to Irvine Worker!

Price drop last Friday puts this one at 59% off so far. Whoever became the owner recently (the bank?) appears not to give a rat's ass about local property values.

They've got competition. $129,500. Unit 230. Redfin Link

 

[freedomCM_IHB]

but with the high ($354) HOA, and only one carport space, plus that it is quite small (850sf), it is still a stretch for an investor.

breakeven on $1250 rent?
