    I can’t decide whether to laugh, to cry, or to go be sick.

    Wickenburg? Much too lush veggies.

    Citibank’s strategy to increase its presence in the jumbo mortgage market appears to be working — applications in the sector are up 60% in the past 60 days, according to sources familiar with the lender’s operations. Citi has not revealed how many of these mortgages have been approved yet. In April, the New York banking giant made the offering of jumbo mortgages a top priority for its U.S. retail branches — and it came at a time when it stopped funding jumbos through loan brokers. It also cut the interest rate to make its jumbos more competitive.

    On July 2, the interest rate on a Citibank jumbo mortgage was 5%. Citibank is offering reduced rates nationwide but the jump in applications is coming mainly from New York and California. Citi is currently focused on offering jumbos to existing customers, but other consumers can apply through a branch office or a call center. In the first quarter, Citigroup originated $10.3 billion in residential mortgages through its North American retail banking units.

    $861K? And it went pending in a week? Someone actually paid that?

    The only way I can see that working is if the lot is zarking enormous (and it looks like it might be).

    Of all the things you could spend that money on… $900K for a tear down. And we wonder why the economy is so bad. Imagine all the jobs and innovation that could come out of that kind of cheez.

    I was gonna guess Flinn Springs

    I’m sure you could make back the $800K with a full harvest in that greenhouse.

    Did he say how big the lot was? 900 ish for a teardown is of course high, but if its a couple of acres, then it might not be too bad.

    Looks to be 1.15 acres, last sold 3/04 for 1.125M. Homes across the street and surrounding are big, new, on similar size lots and probably sell for around 1.5 to 2.5M.

    I looked at this house 2nd day it came on the market. Great price for the area. Can’t wait to see what the buyer does with it. It was like being in a country, but in the city. Reminded me a bit of Big Sur. Would love to know the story behind the former owners.
