[quote=XBoxBoy]Earlier in this thread there was discussion of when we could get a 3br 2000sqft house with ocean view in LJ for under a million. One that was mentioned was 1034 La Jolla Rancho Rd, which was an REO listed at 999,000. See it here:

At the time the house was just pending, and supposedly there had been numerous offers on the place. Looks like it closed, at $1,175,000.

That’s $505,000 (or 30%) off the 2006 sale price of $1,680,000.

Rumors circulate about this surprising sale. Of course I have no evidence whatsoever and would never suggest anything unusual went on with this sale. It is just interesting that of the vast number of offers on this property, some rumored to be well in excess of the closing price, that this one was accepted. Some people are just lucky it seems. And as for those rumors….well at this point I must assume they are baseless and were started by jealous losing-bidders.
