FYI. if you do pick this beauty up, make sure to move in by the end of the month. Otherwise put it off for a few months becuase the Sanitation District is going to be digging a 15 foot deep hole in front of the house for a new sewer.

The new sewer is going to run from the 210 up 1st all the way to Woodland then over to Santa Anita.

Haha. Didn’t you get the Memo? Bernanke and Co. are doing everything possible to encourage Americans to spend, rack up more debt and spend some more.

Heck, our presidential hopefuls want to suspend gas taxes for the Summer. I doubt this this will save Americans any money because it’ll just encourage more driving, vacations and… spending.

Is every one going nuts? so foreclosures are rocketing up higher and higher, setting records every month, and gas prices are rising setting new records every month .. but we keep acquiring more and more debt… am I the only one not drinking the kool aid… and I use Kool aid loosely here, because it almost feels that way to me, like everyone is in the mass suicide plan… and I was not told about this…

george,

I see all the trees so I don’t think there is a sound wall comparable to the ones on Colorado (to the West). I could be wrong though so I’ll swing by the property this weekend to take a look.

This home is literally right on the 210 exit ramp. A small accident can crash cars into the house.

Is there sound wall in this section of 210? It may help if it does.

“I never understand real estate talk on “newer” this and newer that.”

It’s simple…By the description, the home was remodeled a year ago, at which time these “newer” appointments were presumably installed. Legally, upgraded items that a Realtor wants to advertise cannot be advertised as “new” unless the (kitchen, dishwasher, sink, refrig, etc) has NEVER been used before. If even used just once, it can only be described as “newer” or “upgraded”, otherwise the Realtor can be accused of false advertising, as “new” implies never used. And naturally, she/he wants to point out any and all upgrades. She/he would be remiss if she/he didn’t try to point out all positvie features in the marketing.

By the way, these Realtors do not put those descriptions on the Redfin sales page. Redfin pulls the data from the MLS. I see nothing really offensive with the marketing remarks here, except for the annoying lack of capitalization.
