Anybody remember when houses had less square footage than their lots, and back yards more than ten feet deep? I'd figure in the $300K range if they're lucky. Unfortunately, when the crash bottoms out and overshoots (like it did in OC in 1997), they'll be lucky to get their 2000 purchase price.

However I don't think it's reasonable to think it'll go down to $350K. Even though it is a dump that's located next to a major shopping center. all the surrounding homes are around $300/sf so it should be listed around $550,000 so from that standpoint it’s overpriced at $750K.

Does this seller really believe that someone would be foolish enough to pay almost $4k/month to live in a dated place like this?
