wanttobuy, to be blunt, what’s wrong with the property in your link? Based on privacy (courtyard) and square footage, how much better of a deal can you find out there?? It sold for $400K new in 1985 and $535K in 1986 (probably after the orig buyer installed the pool and landscaping) and the seller is asking $779K today after making a few upgrades.
I haven’t checked out the title myself but the listing doesn’t indicate that it’s distressed. Based upon the spartan furnishings here, perhaps it’s a “pre-distress” sale. What’s stopping you from making an offer on this one and spending $40K to $80K or so to fix it the way you want it? Why are you asking the Piggs for more listings??
The open living area in this listing (for entertainment purposes) is sporting a floor to ceiling stone FP and it is surrounded by a canyon! I don’t think it gets too much better than this in this price range!!
Barring PBT plumbing possibly used in its construction and never replaced, this one looks like a good buy to me. I don’t know the comps around there but I see possible “sweat equity” there.
