Went back to the bank for $638,000. <a href="http://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/179-Intrigue-92620/home/7210978">Link Here</a>. We often walk past many vacant REO Stonetree Manor homes on the way to the Woodbury town center. It's just a matter of time before more of these REO start poping up.
If someone bids this up they are being foolish considering for $45,000 more you could have bought a true single family home with $123 less HOA <a href="http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/59-Midnight-Sky-Irvine-CA-92620/64772017_zpid/">here.</a> Or <a href="http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/47-Waterspout-Irvine-CA-92620/64900169_zpid/">this other one</a> for $17,000 more.</blockquote>
Another crack in the Woodbury armor--<a href="http://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/24-Twin-Gables-92620/home/12253217 ">another REO for a plan 3 Stone Tree</a>. They are asking $699K. These have got to be hurting the comps now. Per Redfin they originally purchased for $1.15M!!! Can't believe these stucco boxes were bought for that kind of coin.
For those who have waited for a Stonetree home you can start smiling now. The REOs are here.</blockquote>
Stonetree was my favorite.
I can't believe they are in the 6's!</blockquote>
Per redfin history, the bank bought it back for $666,000.</blockquote>
Assuming that $1.153M sale price in ?06 is accurate, that?s a crazy decline of $450K in less than 3 years.
Almost hard to believe, wow!
