Um, I would like to point out that Big Spender is sung by a group of dance hall girls who are one step above prostitutes. They only dance for money, and are just like strippers in their quest to get the guy to buy more champagne.

Way to make your buyer feel like a mark! Good job!

After reading these two listings I had to look this guy up. Here is a quote from his bio on his web site. It looks like run-on sentences and strange punctuation aren't limited to his real estate listings:

Mark was former world class equestrian acknowledged by the queen of england and former world class tennis professional, now living in Newport beach with his wife and family and daughters , his oldest daughter Brie is also a world class ranked tennis professional on the wta tour and travels mostly with Annette his wife and mother and also a world ranked tennis professional and former wta tour player. the youngest daughter shani is also on a national cheer squad. Being competitive and driven runs in the family it seems.Mark has developed over 650 properties around the world and purchased his first block of land at age 14years and has actively bought and sold all around the world Mark currently owns over $100,000,000 of property in the usa alone.

Do you think that he and Michael Jackson have the same doctor? or is it more like China, Catalina, what's the difference? or does he mean you get a clear view of UCI & 99 Ranch Market from that home?

Another property on Circula Panorama dropped by 1/2 since it was listed. $400,000 in the most recent drop.

It's now a short sale. The listing has been updated with the last line saying subject to lender approval.

Circula Panorama is getting busy. I see 2 scheduled auctions, 1 bank repo, and 3 NODs that appear to be upside down. The three NODs look to be upside down $100K, $200K and $250K on loans in the $700K+ range.

12316 isn't one of the homes above.

I just hope that is a low lying root kind of tree, otherwise I'd be a bit concerned about the foundation.
 
I was just looking at some Aliso listings and saw this one. Totally ordinary looking house, very close to the 73, priced at $589,900. But when I looked at the history, I saw that somebody paid $1,331,000 for this house in 2004! That just blows my mind.

Aliso for $1.3M?
