6610 Amberly St. 92120 in Del Cerro/San Carlos

[Utexas112]

Yes–class of 2004. I didn’t provide a link, but here is one now: http://www.zillow.com/homedetails/6610-Amberly-St-San-Diego-CA-92120/16979425_zpid/

Of course, I take the Zillow estimated value with a grain of salt.

Looking at the comps it sounds like a reasonable price. Not a steal but fair. Its not in the MLS so I dont know how it was sold but I checked the prior listing and it looks like it was remodelled quite a bit before the prior sale. Hopefully it is still in good condition. Prior sale also lists as 3BR so the question is whether it is a 2BR or 3BR. If its a 2BR plus a den/office that would be OK. If only a 2BR, I’d like it a little less.

UT,
Are you sure you are not referring to 6410 Amberly St. That home was listed as a short sale for many months. It had a 2nd floor master addition. Nice home with a small yard. Last I saw it was listed in the high $400’s. That home would be a great deal at $350. The master addition was not permitted.

If that is not the home that you are referring to, how did you find out the other home was on the market?

Thank you for the reply UCGal. So far, our primary concern is that the house is smaller than we would like. There is room on the property (6,800 sq. ft lot) for expansion down the road, however, if needed.

We plan to stay in whatever we buy for 3-5 years. Obviously we would prefer if it appreciated, but if it did not, holding it’s value would work as well. My sense is that if it appreciated, so too would any larger houses we would be looking at in 2014.

Though the house shows as a 2 bedroom on tax rolls, I believe it legally could be a 3 bedroom; one room is an office, currently with a wall open to the living room, but I believe it has a closet, window, and door to the main hallway. Closing in that wall and filing the appropriate permits could change it to the 3 bedroom. In any event, if I rented it, I would close the wall and market it as a 3 bedroom rental.

If we bought, our mortgage payment plus pmi etc. would be approximately $2200.

Your craigslist search raises another question… that is, exactly which “neighborhood” the house is in. It has a 92120 zip code and was marketed as del cerro/san carlos border. I believe it’s in the dailard elementary and patrick henry high district.

Thanks again
