The REO on Buena Vista hasn’t hit the open market yet, but should be soon.
Take a guess at what it’ll sell for in the comment section – here’s a youtube tour:

Just curious – what was the square footage of that back unit? It was TINY. Did it have a bathroom? It could be used as an office, maybe… but without a bathroom, it would be hard to have a family member out there. And even the downstairs bed/bath wasn’t very accessible if the elderly parent uses a walker or wheelchair. It looked pretty tight/hard to maneuver.

JTR, the granny flat had to be built SANS permits. It looks like a death trap. I can’t imagine inspectors allowing this sale with the back place in the condition it is.

The extra 7’s are for the dual swimming pools. Overall the interior looks alot better than I expected. Why would the bank turn down a mid-600s short sale then auction it for low 500s?
BTW Jim, I was in the area a couple of days after your original post, so I decided to drive by. Did you notice the ‘unique’ landscaping a few doors down at the corner of Buena Vista and Jefferson? I snapped a couple photos with my phone:

I’d hit that with an FHA loan and 3.5% down, 2% of which I’d get kicked back from Redfin and another 1% of which I’d get from the homebuyer tax credit (soon to be doubled to $15k or 2%). Throw in some mortgage broker kickbacks and they’re actually paying me to take this house, and the taxpayer bears all the risk if the market doesn’t rebound and I decide to walk away.
Just kidding about the Redfin, Jim. You’re the man.
Damned if V.C. Varones isn’t right, so I’m gonna apply the screw job: $720K.
HAHAHAHAHA.
$620,000.
I like the house and if we were in the market right now, I’d at least tour it. Anything under $00K is a pretty good deal. Anything under $550K is an excellent deal.

er, last post “$00K” should say “$600K” — Jim, while you’re installing spam filters, can you install the WP AJAX Edit Comments plugin as well? 😉

I’ll go with the Redfin sale average $589,000

That house has intrigued me for awhile. I think I saw it when it was listed for sale, last year? Or the year before? Anyway, it was very nicely decorated or “staged” and it looked like the owners maintained it. Did I miss the 3rd bedroom? master up, 1 down, where is the other?
$728,500
Oh great, Erica and dejams have me boxed into a $1K range. My chances of being that accurate are about as good as agreeing with Mozart.

Here’s to all the buyers with 2 mother in laws.
There are two bedrooms downstairs, and the ‘dining room’ looks like it was a third down originally, now opened up on two sides.

Hate to admit it, but I actually like the pirate theme. Bet they’re fun neighbors! LOL! 😉

I pulled that offer as a short sale when I closed on another place – it was higher than I wanted to spend but the lowest number I thought the bank might take.

$646,900. It’s the average of all entries excluding the $1 comments……..
Then it is great to know that my number is $57K below average. And as a side note, I saw this book in the back of Realtards car recently – The Flaw of Averages: Why We Underestimate Risk in the Face of Uncertainty. Well, that person can take the book and at put it where the sun doesn’t shine.

In the 7’s?!?! Are you f&*(ing kidding me?? Have you seen the neighborhood?
A correction to my bid. Ucodegen had already posted the price of $685K. (3 Kings, you also posted $685).
So I’ll change my bid to $686 instead.
A correction to my correction.
That’s $685K, not $685.
Jim, I might need you to proofread my contracts! 🙂
Third correction. $686K, not $685K.
Two huge cups of coffee will do that to you. 🙂
$2!
cewl, free lottery – nothing to lose here…
I´d guess it sold in the low 600 – lets pick a number noone had… 609.997 USD
I´d never have paid even 530k for the house btw.
But with people being afraid of inflation, dollar doom talk going around and tax credit as cherry on the cake – well, just grab it no matter where the price lies. The ocean view should have some value @ least…

” In the 7’s?!?! Are you f&*(ing kidding me?? Have you seen the neighborhood? ”
That’s what I’ve been saying about ALL California RE for years.
Franklin – yes, CA real estate is kinda coo-coo. HOWEVER, this house, as much as I adore it personally (bank almost took my short sale offer if you want to believe the listing broker), it just isn’t worth more than low 6’s, and that’s pushing it given the immediate neighborhood and vicinity to the freeway. The granny flat in the back is not permitted as such, either, so it can’t be considered official living space. I am VERY curious what the squalor parlor across the street is going to be in the near future since it recently changed hands… even with all the village redevelopment, this road is not here or there for an R1, which is what this is.
800k lol, the extra 200k is because of the love
Wow, this makes the 100th comment. Is that a record?
p.s.: People keep tightening the noose around my guess. Argh!!! I wanted a t-shirt! 🙂
$651,000 . Late to this match
I went 799k as a joke and now we have 800k! Its a virtual auction!
In this heated market you just never know who wants to live in the Olde Karlsbad barrio and at what price they will pay to be walking distance to Henessey’s tavern!

Yippee, a Jtr video, a contest, and a record-breaking 106 comments so far! *Chuckle* I feel like I’ve won the real estate lottery already–even though I live nowhere near SD.
What would I do if I won? Add it to my 20% down payment to a 30-year fixed—that’s if I can find my house AND financing.

all these number still seem CRAZY to me. but I guess that the world still is crazy. you look on zillow back 10 years on ANY house in socali and you see where the start price should be. then add 5 percent a year for 10 years to get the real honest fair value for any of these houses in socal. that means my lil townhouse bought exactly 10 years ago new in carlsbad at 150,000 would be selling for just under 250,000 today. the last one to sell (in 1 day) about a month ago sold for over 400,000. 400k-250k = the amount the market is STILL overpriced. and 5 percent a year is a very very generous appreciation rate (have all of you gotten 5 percent raises at your jobs each year for 10 years?) do you still HAVE your job??
if Jim is the realist I guess I am the ULTRA realist. 🙂

I will change that to 635,000 since 632K already taken
