Alarming

The bank lowered the price by $120,000 on this one today, and it’s a decent layout for being nearly 6,000 sf:

Maybe the >$1000/mo in HOA+MR has something to do with it not selling?
Jim the Realtor February 16, 2013

Buyers are used to that vig in the Crosby and Santaluz, and others have been selling.

This house was listed as a short sale with a lower price ($1.299 to $1.4 million) but in general buyers have been willing to overlook flippers fleecing them for bigger bumps than that, so for a bank to try it doesn’t seem unusual. Plus that was way back in December, which seems like a long time ago.

Hey, if they shot you in there it probably would have knocked 200K off the price, call me if that happens.

Seriously though 1000/mo HOA is a little steep, does not look like a place a public pool would get a lot of use.

Hope they get something nice for that besides and annoying guard etc. which brings up, why the alarm?

Reviews on Zillow

" Jim and Donna are the BEST of the BEST! Their knowledge, professionalism, work ethic, and devotion to their trade are unrivaled. It was refreshing to have worked with a pair of professionals who truly understand the meaning of customer service, a lost art in our opinion. Despite living over 3,000 miles away on the opposite coast, Jim and Donna were with us every step of more "

" Jim found me a multi family property that we purchased as an investment (Please see my review of Donna Klinge for details on how it went). But the bottom line is this: I never would have found this property, which cash flows right out of the gate, if it weren't for Jim pointing me toward that house. It just was not on my radar, even though I consider myself a savvy real estate troll. Jim is giving of his time, and his intelligence. And he is also transparent and truthful. And I think he is funny, which is helpful in stressful situations like RE transactions. Jim and Donna have earned every last penny they made from our deal -- and in fact they deserve more. And that is why I will use them for my RE transactions the rest of my life. Thank you, Jim and Donna! more "

" I can't say enough about Jim and Donna. Jim got a great price for us and negotiated well. Donna walked us through escrow, handling vendors, and negotiating everything we asked for in the request for repairs. They are know exactly what they are doing and I've already recommended them to two other people. more "

" I cannot imagine a better experience! Jim was our broker when my husband and I bought our first house. Jim never pressured us or glossed over anything. He was patient, knowledgeable, and helped us buy our dream home. His office was detail-oriented, always responsive and we closed in 30 days! The excellent service didn't end when we bought our house, either, the Klinges have given us excellent and fast referrals along the way. We feel privileged to have worked with such a consummate professional and appreciate how rare this level of skill is. Jim is simply the best in the field. more "

" Jim and his team are top flight. He knows the market better than anyone, and his team ensures the deal goes through without a hitch. There's always something at the last minute, but you'd never know it with Jim and his crew. I've bought and sold houses with Jim as my agent over the years, and I wouldn't use anyone else. Save yourself the headaches and potential costly mistakes... more "

" Buying a house is one of the most emotional,exciting, and sometimes confusing milestones you'll reach for in your life! Being a buyer in this market can make it even more interesting! My husband and I have been looking to buy for a year, and when the time came we wanted a realtor team that would be on our team! Being that I'm a business woman and was 7 months pregnant, I wanted, NEEDED, communication, dependability, and consistency! The Klinges went so far above and beyond ... more "
