Bottom Call

Just another old beater in Carlsbad, but price is attractive if you need the space:
Seems like a good buy per sq ft. Your suggestions in the master bath are perfect. Would be a big improvement!
What would you do with that small, raised section with the double-sided fireplace in the entry? Put a bench there? Leave it empty? It seems too small to use….
The funky closet(?) in the middle of LR (to the left of the above) could get one large door and be covered with a long tapestry or other textile as an art piece. OR just a really beautiful door as art.
It does look like an opportunity as long as 8′ ceilings are oK. It looks like the spacing of the vertical parts of the metal stair rails are too wide for current codes. Is that a required retrofit for sellers, like smoke detectors, seismic straps on the water heater and now, carbon monoxide sensors?
Real Estate agents are the problem…
The prices are going up big time in every area where short sale and REO fraud are gone.
Get the agents out of the business and we might have a recovery
I remember that December 2011 call. Unfortunately I don’t think it’s going to prove prophetic. Housing prices usually turn up well after the economy, and the economy just doesn’t want to turn up.
not a bad joint. Depends on what’s/who’s inside Wyatt Earp’s coffin out there in front. Pretty liveable overall more-or-less as-is, with a few tweaks.
You called the low of the SD market? From your lips to god’s ear.
@5. that was me.
The only thing I’m calling is a cab.
It’s the only time I’ve put a date on any bottom, and it was for the effect – if you were there you would have laughed too. Rich thought it was a humorous follow-up to his detailed explanation of why no one can call bottom legitimately, it would just be luck.
Sheldon,
That’s a rather broad brush there, don’t you think?
I don’t think we are near the bottom because the debt bubble is getting worse, not better. Wait until the state governments finally realize the feds are not able to make the transfer payments. The hurt is coming.
Poor use of space. Quite awkward.
