This little “updated” Craftsman is in a decent area of Northpark and should rent for $1500 or so per month.
If you do the math, and apply a GRM of 10 then the place would value about $180k.
During the recent bubble the GRM’s went nuts to over 20 and sales price became completely disconnected from the fundamentals.
I think prices in this area will come down to 10xGRM eventually, perhaps by late 2010 or 2011.
I’d wait a while to buy and watch the prices and GRM’s come back down to reality.
