Not to revive this thread…But looks like the owner decided to put this back on the market again. 48 days and counting.

Just looking at the pictures and how the home is decorated, I can tell the owners are definitely chinese(Hey, I can say that!)Β

FLU, The link didn’t work, is there a better one. Since I didn’t see it, how did you come to that conclusion, is there red carpet, black laquer baseboards and white marble floors? Whenever I look at a house with obvious asian flooring choices I can’t help but inquire about a non asian flooring credit being built into the offer.
See that wasn’t so bad

or
http://www.redfin.com/stingray/do/printable-listing?listing-id=1208793
Also, it's MLS#076081039
More pictures here:
http://www.previewfirst.com/ViewVirtualTourThumbnails.do?id=15236
The tipoff for me in the order of most obvious to least
1) the cherry red dining room table.
http://www.previewfirst.com/ViewVirtualTourThumbnailDetail.do?id=15236¤tIndex=6
2) the huge vase in the living room
http://www.previewfirst.com/ViewVirtualTourThumbnailDetail.do?id=15236¤tIndex=7
3) the bedroom picture and office picture that show,how should i say, a minimalist approach to furnishing (reminds me of myself).
http://www.previewfirst.com/ViewVirtualTourThumbnailDetail.do?id=15236¤tIndex=12
http://www.previewfirst.com/ViewVirtualTourThumbnailDetail.do?id=15236¤tIndex=15
4) the pictures on the wall (ok that really tips it off)
5) the piano.I assume this must be for a child. ( I don't know a single chinese person who didn't either have to learn the piano or violin or both growing up).
In general, the pictures display a "minimalist" interior, which typically is a trait of some Chinese. Not trying to generalize (ok maybe I am). Several Chinese families that sell a home haven't grasped the concept of "staging a home" for the sale, even if it means making certain things more presentable. Although I doubt it will help bump up the price by itself, I think it does help in terms of appeal.
But on the other side, their spending selection suggests these are probably not big spenders..I'd bet the couple drives a beat up toyota or honda π
BTW the listing agent, who I sort of know, should know better than to put pictures like #3 in a MLS listing. Though she actually does quite well within the Chinese community.

Sometimes i feel bad about all the political correctness that exists. I feel being PC was something thrown on to cauasians to bring "sensitivity" to the world. Everyone is so concerned about accidently offending someone else. It's really gotten out of hand in a lot of cases.

I was shocked that land that is not even graded for building by Pardee Builders is going to be soon prepared for MORE homes. The area is right off of Carmel Valley and Camino del Sur….Crazy…
