[quote=kcal09][quote=ahewitson][quote=DataAgent]”Holy crap! If zillow is correct they paid 1.5 in 2006. I can’t belive the asking price is under 900k. Something doesn’t seem right here?”

It’s probably just another short sale. The current owners haven’t paid their property taxes in several years.[/quote]

My realtor took us to this house and it’s definitely been lived in. The backyard has not been kept very well and the interior of the house has a very odd design. Regardless of what the house sold for 5 years ago, I don’t think it’s worth the $895K it’s currently listed for. Maybe about $50K less than that as a possibility. You’ll need at least that much to make it comfortable. Very poor natural lighting inside the house as well.[/quote]

If you don’t think it’s worth $895k then all the smaller “Serenity” homes should be around $700k. This home has more square footage with a larger lot and is supposedly of higher quality. Thus, are you implying that “Stonebridge” in general is still way overpriced?[/quote]

The home is extremely dark inside. Very little natural light comes into any room. The kitchen/livingroom/great room floor plan is very awkward as the kitchen bar “straddles” both rooms. Almost all of the landscaping in the rear is dead or dying and the overall condition of the interior/exterior is rundown. You can’t base your judgement on numbers and square footage alone. You should also consider the actual condition once if you’ve been in and out of this home. Some of these things can be changed and/or improved with work, time, and $$$ but you can only do so much to a home to make it into a different home before you’ve actually just rebuilt that home.

P.S. Anyone putting an offer on that home should stop by Costco first and get a palette of Clorox Disinfecting Wipes to rid every surface of the “ick” and residue. Some air fresheners wouldn’t hurt either.
