This video is really just a sidebar to ProfHoff’s four-year journey to find the right home at a decent price. More on her story later. The other Water’s End listing mentioned had lowered their price to $875,900, but cancelled a week later:

This vid was a joke. Why post it.
So ProfHoff could use it for comparison. I think that was clear, wasn’t it?
Let’s check out your videos bob – what’s your blog?
The fun is just beginning!
Nice landscaping
Is bob a disgruntled short sale agent?
Congrats to Profhoff! Here’s to a quick closing with JtR running interference for you to get through escrow quickly.
The video house looks well taken care of but I couldn’t handle the small yard and looming neighors, ugh. Or the skateboarders. 😆 I literally want to buy nylon wheels for every kid that skates on the noisy ones in my neighborhood.
@5, maybe that’s bob’s house in the video? 😉
OT post:
Does Jim or anyone on this blog no how/where to find the complete buy/sell history of a house that was built in 1969? The house is located in LA county. I tried googling public records, but I could only find price history going back about 10-15 years or so.
Thanks!
Nice house, just not worth the money.
Remember, the upgrades are cheap relative to the spike in asking price.
Congrats to ProffHoff, can’t wait for the before and after!
Jim’s right, that yard will get zero usage. When it is so small like that, the only thing you can do is lounge around under the eyes of your friendly neighbors.
I suppose a row of tall cypresses might do the trick if you want privacy…
@8, you would have to go to the county assessor. The typical online sites, zillow, Redfin, blockshopper, all get their info from the same public source. So if the data ends at 15 years ago, that means there’s no digital data available, you would have to go archiving.
But for the typical buyer, 10-15 years is sufficient, let’s say you are aiming for inflation adjusted 2000 pricing. Why do you need to go back to the 60’s and 70’s? What good would it do to know it costed $70k back in 1969 and now it is asking a million?
Love that video. The homeowners association should use it to identify the skateboarders in question, whom are using the “tennis court” as their own personal skate park. The actual source of the damage done should be held accountable, not the collective homeowners through higher HOA fees.
We are supposed to close on Monday. I’ll get right on it. 😉
Jim,
For stucco canyons like this, I HIGHLY recommend putting these into the ground:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Podocarpus
Makes for a great hedge. Palm trees only work for a certain amount of time! These grow very fast and you can mold them into any form you want.
Skateboard wheels clacking – that’s the official state music of California. You grumpy curmudgeons.
Congrats, ProfHoff.
4 years, eh? I’m only on year one. ugh….I’ll be 50 by the time I get my first house. At that point, I had better hope I have enough money to pay all cash.
I get my first post-college/real job paycheck tomorrow! It’s not big, but it’s a start!
I hope to, one day, own a home in Encinitas/Leucadia.
@16, Congrats, CJ.
@14, Richard, get off my lawn, dang it! 😆
On a serious note, some kids skateboard by and I don’t even notice them but others? Holy cow, what a racket.

Ocrenter, I tried the online LA assessor already… no luck. Do you know how/where I can do the archiving? I would assume it would be inaccessable on the internet and I was have to go physically to LA county(?). It’s a semi-historical property… more curiosity than anything else.
Thanks.
