Pulling a listing and re-listing it is a very common RE practice. Only people who consistently check the listings in the local market would pick this up. You’re obviously well-informed and one of them.

Price is usually the last thing to move in any downtown. Volume will (and has) fall off a cliff before the general population is willing to budge on prices. We are starting to see this in the local SGV market now.

As you already pointed out, the sales price and date information is available through sites like redfin. The loan info is available through public county records. Some paid services (like netronline and homeinfomax) gather the information for easy access but they usually charge a monthly or per-access fee.

Since I deal in real estate acquisition and development, we have purchased access to such a service. If we ever do come across a way to get the loan information for free (aside from visiting the Records office), I’ll let you know!

i was curious as to where i can access the loan information that you guys show. everything else i have been able to find on redfin.

by the way, this listing is similar to one on 56 Corto Rd. The listings have been around forever. I know that 56 Corto has actually pulled off the listing and re-listed it multiple times so that the “days listed” does not run too high and make the listing look stale. the funny thing is that they have never lowered their asking price.
