Only beef I’d have with the property (other than being overpriced) is the fact it’s on a corner lot; you have two public street sides with an effective back yard of only 1/4 of the lot, max. Given that, the L-shape of the house does a pretty good job of hiding the back yard from both streets. And the simple landscaping would be easy to maintain.

Horrible! Unless you adore freeway dust and noise. That house could be $400 and I would not buy.

The owners bought it for $420k in 97 so they must be greedy and stupid to squeeze out a mil in todays market

yulu,

Excellent work! I don’t know how this one got pass me.

I have a feeling that many of these “price chasers” are stuck with unexperienced Realtors who have no idea how to sell a home during a housing decline. During the Summer season, you essentially have a block of 4-5 prime months to market the home. Pricing potential buyers out right off the bat is a big disservice to the seller.

They are better off pricing this property at $800k and allowing multiple buyers bid up the price.

YuLu:

Good detective work. Just like most listings, except REOs, it is just asking yesteryear’s price. Most of them will be pulled out of the market for a while and try again. For those who must sell, they are simply chasing the market down, only a few steps too slow.
