The picture shown is the house across to the listed house. I think it is not appropiate because it mislead people for the house information.

I came across this several months ago, but didn’t like the site. It’s run by real estate brokers who could benefit (financially) from pushing transactions. From what I saw, it’s mostly sugar-coated realtor mish-mash.

Who the hell is still buying at this ridiculous price in 2008 except taking back by the bank at loan balance?

The purchase price $1,350,000 on 01/04/2008 appears to be a REO by the bank. Or, is there indeed still flipper doing this, and bank is backing this stupidity?

I think it’s a great idea. Thanks for your suggestion and we’ll discuss that at our next meeting. I’m glad you’re voicing your opinions and suggestions. It really helps us to steer this site towards what our reader base would like to see. I can’t guarantee that we’ll be able to accomodate it, but if anyone else has suggestions – please send them our way.

Thanks

I think us readers are already impressed with your and the Arcadian’s ability to maintain the Arcadia housing blog at such a high level while juggling real jobs. Starting completely new blogs dedicated to other areas would probably end your personal lives as you know it.

But perhaps instead of creating separate websites, you could form a SGV category where you would feature properties or comment on trends in neighboring cities like San Marino, Pasadena, etc. every so often? Also, how would you feel about readers sending you guys listings to analyze from other neighboring cities? I think the information and insight that you offer on this site is incredible and could benefit a lot of people who are looking for homes in cities that are comparable to Arcadia.

Just a suggestion, don’t want to overwhelm you guys with even more work. You’re already doing a great job and offering a valuable public service with this blog!

Even just to be in line with the other optimistic listings, this place should be listed between $1.0M and $1.1M, methinks. And while nominal lot value might be close to that $1.0-$1.1M, the new owner would still have to teardown the existing structure, etc. This listing is such a scam.

Thanks! I don’t know of one and you’re not the first reader to ask. There are others who have expressed their interest in a Pasadena/S.Pasadena housing blog. I have considered starting one, but it takes a lot of time to run a blog and I’m not sure I want to sign up for double duty right now. I’ll re-evaluate the situation if the demand for one continues to increase.
