So you may have a few options, re target towards that rare first time buyer that will see the house as live able and nice for 3-5 years until they’re ready to remodel[/quote]
Those buyers are rare? I guess times have changed and I’m out of touch with reality; when I bought my 1st house it wasn’t perfect, but with a little elbow grease it was pretty nice. But I bought it at a decent price.
So it sounds like in today’s world (in areas of So Cal) a 3/2.5 house in good (but not perfect) condition on a quiet street within easy walking distance to excellent schools is so undesirable it can’t be sold unless sold at wholesale.
