I had a neighbor also who did this, they bought the townhouse near us for 550k supposedly on the san diego assessor record and also on zillow in May2005, and they listed it now for 399,999 – 409,000. And the weird part is that back in May last year, the townhouses in our neighborhood at most were going for 470k(most were in the 440k), but they bought theirs at 550k(and they had no upgrades, nothing). I am confused on this , unless they were dumb enough to pay almost 80k higher then what the comparable sales were at the time, it does not add up.
