The $600,000 – $800,000 Pool and Landscape ,the rest at OC renter’s blog
Why would a listing agent lie on the description of the listing,when there are none of the things in the house?.

What a pool, what a waterfall along with a waterslide. With this completely decked out “unreal” beauty, REALTOR® Toby’s investment is sure to pay off, right? Well, let’s hope so because Toby has completely ran out of funds as he is still unable to come up with the $11,000 needed to pay his property tax.
Except for what his neighbor 3 doors down is pulling…

The neighbor didn’t do a whole lot to the property, and definately no “unreal” saltwater pool with waterslide and waterfall. But then again, the neighbor was able to find $11,000 to pay his property tax (although a couple of months late).
With the spread on the asking price between the two model matched homes at $600,000 to $800,000, things are not looking so good for REALTOR® Toby… But then again, real estate IS emotional, maybe Toby will be finding that buyer any moment now, yes
