Temecula Guy,
The flags need to be thrown on Bugs and SD Realtor.
Here is the listing text from when it his friends bought it.
“Spacious, tastefully decorated 5BR/3BA home, largest floor plan in Creek Park. 1BR/full BA downstairs, cul de sac street, close to Carmel Del Mar Elem & CV Middle. Vaulted ceilings, skylights, upgraded tile, plush carpeting throughout. Kitchen/eating area opens into charming family room with fireplace.”
I see both 5 BEDROOMS and VAULTED Ceilings. The new property is definitely NOT markedly nicer and the current owners have put in substantial improvements per the vrud.
SD R also knows (maybe he doesnt and that would be sad) that many people looking for 5BR’s really want 4 BR’s and an office/den/guest room etc.
I’m penalizing both for Unsportsmanlike Conduct!
As for Bugs increasing trend challenge I think I can handle that one. While sales are sparse in this specific neighborhood, I will take a look at this general area of CV to see if there is enough data to show what has happened to prices of like for like properties.
