If these walls could speak… A SD Bubble Story.

[maybe]

Once again, truth is stranger than fiction…

What is the story behind 4058 Randolph St, 92103, now MLS 081004698?

http://www.sdlookup.com/MLS-081004698-4058_Randolph_St_San_Diego_CA_92103

This is small, serviceable house in the middle of Mission Hills. Built in 1915, she only has two beds and just over 1000 sqft. On street parking only. Back in 1984, she sold for $72,000. It was a humble start for our dame.

Then comes The Bubble. (Insert melodramatic music here…) In August of ’06, she sells for $525,000. In December of that same year, she sells for over $200,000 more– $720,000!!! Things are looking bright for our formerly forlorn fancy. In another week or two, she’d be worth a cool million!!!

Then, crash. From the MLS pix, she’s been stripped of her dignity. Bare wires, dirty toilets, even the towel racks aren’t attached.

Is there any explanation other than collective insanity?

[nostradamus]

You forgot to mention her HUGE 2003sf lot!

$720k is unfreekingbelievable. Could it be fraud?

[maybe]

That’s what I want to know. A 200k$/35% increase in 4 months late in 2006 is truly inexplicable…

[PadreBrian]

Yeah, that’s fraud. The bank should have NEVER GIVEN out a 720k loan on that thing. Good lord. Someone walked away with a ton on the bank’s money. Too bad the banks are too stupid to go after crooked appraisers/agents.

[Anonymous]

Would the comps support that kind of price on THAT house?? I’m thinking no, so I bet it was fraud too.

[Anonymous]

Nostradamus, off topic, but may I ask?…

How is that little dog of yours doing? Also, what breed is it?

[nostradamus]

Hi Marion,

She’s doing well, thanks! Her mother is a Chihuahua and the father is a Jack Russel Pinscher mix. Sounds unusual but I’ve seen 3 or 4 dogs out there just like her.

Sorry to all about this unrelated posting, I should be scorned.

Nost: Uh, dude? Your cat appears to be nearly the same size as your dog. That is a normal sized cat, right?

Kidding. Two of our three dogs are Labs, so it is strange to see a dog that small. Not bagging on him, of course. Back when I owned my Rottie, Odin, he routinely got trounced by our neighbor’s Jack Russell, Bo. It was pretty funny to watch, though.

Hi, Nostra. The dog is cute. The cat…yikes! lol. The milky white plus black face and ears does look interesting though. Your dog is really, really a mixed breed. I remember your post about all the books you’re reading on care and feeding. Did she come from the pound? Or from a breeder?

At any rate, she looks good. Thanks for the pic.

[nostradamus]

Labs are great, they always have fun chasing my dog around the park (and she has fun too but gets drenched in slobber).

I adopted the cat and dog who were both feral offspring of abandoned pets. They were in really bad shape, malnourished, and had sarcoptic mange but several vets and a few dollars later they turned into healthy pets.

[img_assist|nid=6213|title=|desc=|link=node|align=left|width=466|height=340]
The cat outweighs the dog but not by much.

[Anonymous]

I didn’t know dogs and cats play together like that. Nostra, do you feed your dog Purina Dog Chow? (when I was a kid that’s all my dad would buy for the dogs). Or is there another food of choice now for dogs?

[nostradamus]

I give her pedigree and add a vitamin supplement called missing link.

[sd_bear]

My cat and dog don’t really play with each other as much as just tolerate each other’s existence. Though neither one has been hurt by the occasional pug rush or cat paw!

[cr]

I guess these walls are cat and dog lovers.

That or this thread has derailed.

[ibjames]

I had a dog and a cat growing up, they would wrestle, standing up on their hind legs, hugging each other and biting each other’s necks!

We have two cats now, they don’t like each other too much..

Check out the sales history on this one. It sold for 925k and after going the REO route is in escrow from a list or 449,900. Unfortuately that site doesn’t have pictures.The MLS has pictures. It seems like someone was going to remodel the home and never got finished…pretty popular theme too.

I look at buildable lots often. There is a lot on Mt. Helix with the foundation about half formed up that is now for sale. People understand that the endgame doesn’t look so good .

With a falling market you have to wait until these abandoned projects are really discounted or risk working for free. I wouldn’t mind overhauling that house on Panorama though, if it were not so unlikely to pencil out or If I didn’t care.

[nostradamus]

Haha Aecetia has quoted from my #1 all time favorite movie! From my favorite actress! Wouldn’t it be great if movies with real dialog and real talent like that were still around?

Ironically Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? is a play on the phrase “Who’s Afraid of the Big, Bad Wolf?” which was the theme song for one of the movies which made Disney famous during the great depression.

Even more ironic is that Disney’s film was a HUGE success which set the stage for Disney as we knew it and at the same time happened right at the deepest bottom of the depression. Those of you who believe that entertainment will do well (movies, games, sports, etc) in a crashing economy are, IMO, correct.

EVEN MORE ironic is the answer to the question of who’s afraid of the big, bad wolf: the little piggies!

Hi, Nostra. The dog is cute. The cat…yikes! lol. The milky white plus black face and ears does look interesting though. Your dog is really, really a mixed breed. I remember your post about all the books you’re reading on care and feeding. Did she come from the pound? Or from a breeder?

At any rate, she looks good. Thanks for the pic.
