    I live in Pasadena. Whereabouts is the property? If it is in a nice area, that sounds like a good deal. It’s in the price range I would hope to pay for a SFH of that size. Asking prices in Pasadena have not budged significantly. I see houses just sitting there, and not many of them. CBS News interviewed someone last week on whether auctions are a place for deals, and the conclusion was that with only a marginal reduction, when you add back auction fees, it doesn’t work out a lot cheaper. And then there is the risk with the state of the home.

    I just did a search on Ziprealty and found a dozen 4 bed SFHs in this price range in Pasadena. One in particular was nice. When I did a search on zillow is was valued at over $800k, but apparently sold for $722K last July, so I’m not sure what to believe here.

    What I understood from this is, every one knows that market would go down as much as possible like 800k houses would hit around 550k. People are wise there, they just want to throw a stone that they can get that diamond with pre prdicted price. If get have it and then slowly built the house for next sell even afer 6 years when price stablize.

    Option 2 kind of people are just waiters to check this price can equal with 2002 or 2003 price tag.
