Here’s another one in Leucadia closer to the beach that just re-listed on the MLS: 137 Cadmus.
I toured this place a year ago or so. At that point they were asking something like $899,000. It’s a little bit of a funky layout, but it’s a pretty sweet place. I’d think it’s a great deal in the mid-$700s. Sellers are older couple who moved to Arizona.
Your comment about the MLS comments made me think of this one, which I just saw yesterday (Evergreen St.):
“DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES DISTURB THE UNCOOPERATIVE TENANT. Property shown with accepted offer only….Agent has never been inside property.”
Not that you would have any troubles with an unwanted tenant or anything.
Meet up at the yard sale?
Jim the “anti-realtor”. Love it.
Don’t know if it has come up yet but what about the widening of I-5 and the effect that will have on adjacent properties?
First place on the video made me think of it.
I attended a meeting a few years back and Caltrans made it abundantly clear that there would be no buyouts unless the freeway literally went through your house.
Noticed via the website (after getting the public informational meeting notice sent out last week) that there are some planned noise abatement walls but we’ve seen what happens to those promises in the past.
Seems that this is information that must be disclosed in a listing?
I just can’t believe that San Diego is still going through with these archaic plans. I don’t want to hear now days that there are no other better alternatives to move people.
If that many people are moving in that direction, mostly one individual per car, looks like a trapped audience to me and a great opportunity to think a better way.

I think that for the price of some of these tear downs and fixer-uppers near the coast that you’re better off buying a 1400-1700 sq ft condo in one of the many complexes on South Sierra Avenue along the bluff in Solana Beach. Much better beach access, no exterior maintenance to worry about and condo amenities. It seems like if you want a a house right on the bluff, you have to worry about erosion and seawalls and if you want a house a few blocks inland you have to deal with train or freeway noise.
Dwip,
The sellers at 1176 Nardo tried that in Feb 2009.
Please DO NOT DISTURB OCCUPANTS. SHOWN WITH ACCEPTED OFFER AND 24 HOUR NOTICE TO OCCUPANTS/TENANT. DO NOT DISTURB TENANTS!! CALL LISTING AGENT WITH ANY QUESTIONS. Shown with accepted offer only with 24 hours notice to occupants/tenants.
They were asking $695,000. 14 months later they blew it out at $507,500.
Very much appreciate the numbers overlaid on the video. Thanks for taking the time to add that info. Hope you’ll consider continuing to do that going forward.
Quick suggestion on the numbers posted in the video. Use slightly larger white letters with a black border, and if possible with a bit of a shadow for a slight 3D effect. That makes the text much easier to read regardless of the background.
Your editing software’s default values for these effects should be good enough; you don’t need to play around with them.
Love the “DO NOT DISTURB OCCUPANTS” warnings! What would happen if someone were to disturb the occupants and discover they were still the owners of the house and had never put their home up for sale? 🙂
“Jim, the anti-realtor”
Sweet! That’s how I first heard about JtR. He was featured in the LA Times in the spring of 2009 and the article was entitled: “The Hunter S. Thompson of Real Estate”. I was immediately intrigued and have been addicted to bubbleinfo ever since.
Mahalo for all your hard work, JtR!
What DID that sign say?!
That house on Orpheus is a hot mess. You have to *walk up a dirt hill* to get from your “driveway” (a dirt clearing on the hill) to your fenced front yard. There are a couple other lots around there that have been on and off the market for years in the $100K-$200K range, and I think they’re better lots. Personally, I don’t think they can sell that “house” to a sane person for over $80K, but that’s just me. 🙂
Liquidation of one person’s treasures = enhancement of another’s physical assets. Gotta love southern California.
For Chevy(s)..
10 = 1/4 ton also potentially 1/2 ton
20 = 3/4 ton
30 = 1 ton
For GMC.. they added ‘5’ to those numbers.
Of course the real payloads were closer to:
10 = 1,000lb (1/2 ton)
20 = 2,000lb (1 ton)
30 = 3,000lb (1 1/2 ton) – my beater is one of these.
If you have the original sticker on the drivers door or glove box, you’ll see it. The numbers would not be exactly as above (maybe 100 – 300 lbs off). This is one of the differences between US trucks and their load rating vs. Japanse and theirs – which is a little liberal on the actual vs claimed rating. Those little dually toyotas that some of the landscapers use, are claimed as a one ton, but actual load rating is around 1,500lbs max.
The truck numbering was before the ‘number wars’.. where extra 0’s were tacked onto the end to make it seem more ‘significant’.
Loved the chyrons (keep them coming) and the bag pipes.
Great montage, JtR!
Jim,
Your truck longings always take me back…
Mine was two-toned bronze & white, but otherwise this was my very first “car”.
1970 Chevy CST/10 (SWB)
Learned to drive in a seven deuce CST 10. There’s nothing like an old Chevy.
I’m calling you JTAR from now on. That was a fun video.
Don’t knock the piper, a kid at my beach community in hauls in up to$200 a day busking his bagpipes in front of the liquor store in Pugwash, Nova Scotia. Helps that Nova Scotia is Latin for “New Scotland”!
