Exactly, these two sales now become the comps and everything looks great, when in fact the exact opposite is the case. This neighborhood (going back to scams as earlier as 2004) could be the posterchild for borderline bubble fraud.
Granted, there is a chance that this is legit, but then why do we have the following, each of which is unusual, all happening at once:
-Overpaid by 75-100k
-Happened with two similar homes in 1 week
-Rented immediately after closing
-$1,500/Month loss (4k payments, 2.5k rent)
-Sold FSBO, no realtor fees, yet still 100k+ higher than asking price. FSBO alone is very rare.
