The REO in the village of Carlsbad finally listed today.
The list price? $601,900.
I mentioned that my BPO was $599,900, but the video must have been powerful. Of the record 92 guesses, only 19 were under $600,000, and 20 were OVER $700,000!
I appreciate the optimism, and it’s a direct contrast to prior contests when most guesses were well below the eventual sales price.
I’m hoping this doesn’t get too out of control, because I just received my latest quarterly scorecard, and got ripped again for selling them too high. Every category had a perfect score except BPO:SP, which equaled 114%. They dinged me for 35% for missing so badly!
The contest was to guess the sales price, and the winner to receive a slightly-used bubbleinfo t-shirt and prize-to-be-named-later. Guesses are in the comments section, and here is the original video:

Man! Did dafox ever nail that one! Only off by a C note!
Congrats, dafox!!! Got it within $100.
Jim, cracks me up that you get busted for getting them *too* much money. 😀
We’re guessing the eventual sales price, $601,900 is the list price.
So we’re not done yet? Oh well. Still, that was a great guess on the list price. At least send dafox something! Even if it’s just a JtR coffe mug! 🙂
Jim, a reminder. My final guess was $686K, and not $685K. I kept making mistakes in my posts. It was a long day back then. 🙂
From $601,900 to $686,000? I doubt that very much. But will the final sale price be higher or lower? Who’s within range, and what are their chances?
I’d hit that but wifey won’t let me move that far north.
$631,000 – Kingside
$631,500 – Rob Dawg
$632,000 – Tom L.
Oh yeah, Vegas spreads. Damn. If it matters Tom L. is almost exactly 5% over list.
DOH! Guess I need to pay better attention. Oh well, means I still have a (very slim) chance at a t-shirt — WOOHOO!
It would totally crack me up if someone offered their contest guess price on this house.
I told my BF I would definitely tour it if we were in the market right now. It is a bit far north for our preference as well, though. We’ll hang out here until next year — through the end of our lease — and then give you a call and see what’s cookin’, Jim. 🙂

I will be shocked if that thing doesn’t go over $650.
holy crap! I didnt realize I was so close until I read the second post (skimmed through the first one).
my guess for final price: same as list. but the buyer will have no contingencies to wait for (therefore a quick close).
Jim,
I guessed 635k as my final guess, and you did not included in the contest – oversight?
Corrected.
Based on the first-day response, those who guessed over list can start making alternative apparel plans.
Does that mean Carlsbad has gone from hot to lukewarm? Worse??

Have no fear, Jim. If you list it, they will come. The inventory is still too low, so the most ignorant buyers (with a bucket of money and a box of stupid — Rob Dawg) are setting the prices right now. My guess is that you’ll have it sold over list within two weeks. 😉
Oops! Probably want to delete that last comment. Sorry, Jim!

Anyone want to guess who amongst those within range of the list price might get this one?
I still think dafox will get this one.
