These days, the pursuit of homebuying doesn’t take a week off.

Thankfully, neither do the new REO listings coming to market – here’s the latest:

    What a weird setup. What was it, a penny stock pusher, or a mortgage mill, that occupied that place. why else all the ethernet ports and the storage room off the family room?

    What an awful floor plan! I’ve never understood the need to put the formal living room right at the front, where nobody will use it. I love what your clients (I believe) did with the house in CV: blow out the wall between the formal living/dining room and the family room.

    However, I don’t think you can do that here given that the kitchen backs up to the dining room. And because all the space is used for the “formal” areas, the family room is not that big!

    And that room next to the family room?! LOL

    A formal living and dining room are fine in big, lavish homes. But when you start taking away space from the main rooms of the house (and using it on the unusable formal living room)….it’s a problem.

    During the boom developers could care less about how a how is designed. All they cared about was price per square foot and how many houses they could fit into a subdivision.

    In the 50’s and 60’s tiny houses were built on massive lots.

    Now massive houses are build on tiny lots.

    I wish there were houses like this one in CV with a price tag of $849k, bad floor plans and all.

    CV market is in a funny state. Very few houses to pick and choose from. Some get re-listed time and again to make them look like fresh new listings. Don’t these sellers know better? Or their agents are too chicken to tell them what the real issue is? Nothing a good price can’t fix.

    The video doesn’t work for me, JtR. Any clues as to why?

    Mahalo, Al, but now that I clicked it, it worked! The master bedroom is just weird. You just don’t know where to put the bed–which will probably be a queen or king…

    @ Shadash…. Uhhhh, where, are those massive lots from the 50s/60s? Lots were small back then, too. Unless you go back to the 1800s, developers have been chopping out small slivers forever. I routinely see super tiny lots, 3500 to 5000 sq ft in the older areas of the entire state. Lot size has largely been determined by location, not time.

    That house basically has four offices. Who needs four offices in their house, unless it’s not being used as a house but as an, um, office? Horrible, horrible floor plan.
