Gibson, Ford, Brock, Seaver, Kaline, Morgan, Niekro, Lasorda, Sutton and now Hammerin Hank. We’ve lost some of the greatest to ever do it this year. @TommyLasorda is gonna have a hell of a roster to manage up there. #RIPLegends
Comments on December Existing Home Sales https://www.calculatedriskblog.com/2021/01/comments-on-december-existing-home-sales.html The delay in the buying season has pushed the seasonally adjusted number to very high levels. For example, this number of sales, (NSA) in July, would have given a 5.3 million, as opposed to 6.76 million SAAR.

"Where do we begin..2020 has been a year for everyone. When COVID hit and shut down both my husband and my businesses, we were left with a mortgage and very little income coming in. We were stressed, scared and felt stuck. We made the hard decision to sell our home and move out of state. We contacted the Klinges' and spent a good hour going over what we hoped we could accomplish. Jim and Donna came over with comps in hand and suggestions on improvements to get our house ready for the market. It was overwhelming to think about, but Donna was there and one step ahead in every scenario. more "

"Jim and Donna Klinge made the sale of our condo extraordinarily easy. They know the market and gave us sound advice backed by details and very considerable experience, reflected both in the initial pricing and subsequent negotiations. They work together as a team and are always available to talk. more "

"I cannot believe there are no reviews of Donna yet, ugh!! She is the secret sauce of the Jim Klinge/Donna Klinge combo! I will touch on Jim here, but Donna is why I'm so totally loyal to these two (no offense to Jim :)).

"Jim and Donna Klinge are by far the most professional, personable and responsive realtors I have ever worked with. They provide VIP concierge level service in every area of the process of selling your home. My home was marketed so successfully that we received an offer the day after our first and only open house. Thanks to Jim's pricing and negotiating, our house is now the highest sold in our community... more "

Perhaps it’s the right place for They Might Be Giants
Jim, have you been to this house in La Jolla? Would love to see footage of it. Description is about the scariest I’ve ever read.
Major foundation, structural, grading, drainage issues. Two seperate engineering/geo reports documenting soil instability due to poor drainage caused by improper grading. Foundation slipped & rotated with 4.5 inch difference in elevation. Multiple cracks in structure throughout interior/exterior. Three written repair estimates of $250k-$335k based on what can be seen. Costs may substancially increase with unknown plumbing & geological issues. Property on canyon’s edge & within 500 ft of fault line.

That’s an amazing view, so maybe the view and the slope cancel each other out.
Keep it…what good is a view when you’re kitchen ends up down the hill.
Someone will buy it, fall down the hill in 10 years, then act surprised and sue everyone, including their agent.
Another nice house, but there is no discount large enough to get us to buy on a cliff.
Did la jolla even have a correction?That price seems very close to the 2005 price.
I think you can see my house from that view, LOL. No way I would bid/offer on a house that close to the slide without it being contingent on a geological/soils report. It may be fine. And as Jeeman noted on sdlookup – “The potential fall to your death off the deck with no railing comes free of charge.” LOL.
Haha, yeah, we considered the house from the listings alone, but when we went to see it, and stood on the deck, I felt on edge and nervous the whole time. There is no way I would buy a house there, except to flip it. The architecture was interesting and the pool and view was nice, but the cliff was too much.
Kathy, we saw that one too…and it was listed for $950k at the time? I didn’t know about all those problems, but the house was very dated. The bathtub in the master was pretty funny.
I guess that is one way to weed out all the wasted time being in escrow…be upfront with every possible problem.
