Santeeman,
The homes I’m referring to are east of Magnolia and north of Mast. These are older homes built in the 70’s.
Without getting too specific, the home we purchased 6 months ago is in a nice little neighborhood near Santana High and the house was vacant for so long due to a long probate fight between family members of the deceased. It had 2 or 3 buyers before us and fell out of escrow due to the seemingly endless probate. We purchased for $75k less than one of the previous buyers, and in fact our home inspector made a bid on our home (intending to flip it), but was outbid by another buyer during the frenzy of ’04.
