Real Estate Awards (Mega Schadenfreude)

LM if you really want to see some smoke punch in 92624 on redfin and look along beach road. Shacks that were bought for 150,000 are asking 3-5 million and more...too much smoke down there in Capo

17552 Medford must be friends with their neighbor next door at 17562. <a href="http://www.zillow.com/HomeDetails.htm?zprop=25440585">They bought their home for $752k a year ago</a>, and now it is scheduled for the auction at $631k. Of course, if the bank uses an AVM like zillow, they will price the minimum bid for even less.
 
Ut roh... not Coto. <a href="http://www.zillow.com/HomeDetails.htm?zprop=25617777">This place was bought for just over a mil in 2003</a>, and it is scheduled for the auction for just over a mil.

<p>We looked at that home during an open house many months ago when the property was listed with LeeAnn Canaday. The agent sitting on the open house was on her cell phone when we walked in and she barely acknowleged our existence, let alone get off the phone or even say boo. The home itself is beautiful, but was way overpriced at the time. I guess the family living there was in a hurry to leave for the day, because the kid's room was messy and there was an unflushed mess in the toilet. My wife was grossed out, and no matter how much she liked the house, she disliked every thing about it after seeing that bathroom. If LeeAnn or any of her peeps read this blog, you may want to brief your agents to do a quick check of the rooms and to be polite to the looky loos. Someday we are going to buy, and the wife does not forget bad experiences and the name on that sign. </p>

geeze, that family room with the LCD seems perfect for wall mounting a 50 incher up there. Does not seem to be any windows that would cause glare



well at least their neighbor #29 is doing it with them :)

That person who bought in 04 and sold in 05 must be happy.
 
I've visited this neighborhood before...like many of this era, some parts are packed in without driveways,and other areas are much better with full driveways. The best-located places are ones like the property 24 just posted on, since they back to the hill and have yards.
 
<p>My mouth just dropped when I noticed <a href="http://www.redfin.com/stingray/do/printable-listing?listing-id=445648">this house</a> has been <strong><em>on the market for 582 DAYS!!!</em></strong></p>

If that doesn't win first prize blue ribbon in a market-chaser award competition I don't know what would. Interesting that the previous sales price would indicate they should have tons of equity. Seems like a possible HELOC/cash out refi case.
 
<p>Great find, Halfnote. We'll have to keep an eye on this house. <img title="popcorn" alt="popcorn" border="0" src="http://blackhole.xerces.com/images/smilies/popcorn.gif" /></p>
 
i saw that listing last week. it actually wins my vote for the most WTF price.





$600/sqft for a pergranteel 60s house with low ceilings and a bad high school district was amazing. I think that they are still wishing at $300.





if the sell it soon (how likely?) by dropping it to $500k they will be lucky (though not much has moved in mesa verde lately!). ultimatley, i think that area goes back to 1999-2001 pricing of ~$300k
 
I don't see how a sane person would bite just yet...the expectations have been set that they will drop the price again by a relatively little bit, and then by more.
 
I just couldn't stop laughng and needed to post this somehwere so here it goes
