Temecula – 1/2 acre lot – $335K

[pizzaman]

There was a discussion earlier about how the lenders have been using this strategy of listing low hoping to start a bidding war. There is a house I have been following in Murrieta that listed $100,000 below market and went quickly into escrow after receiving multiple offers. Yesterday it fell out of escrow for the third time and once again was active at the original low listing price. So today I called there bluff and made a full price cash offer, hoping that they are tired of people not qualifying for loans and having to start the process again. Gee, I hope I didn’t offend them with my full price offer.

I like those low listings, and mini- bidding wars! Helps normalize the market…and it makes the buyer feel like he got a good deal…lol even though it was the figure the owner wanted all along.

Hey, dharmagirl. I like the way they’ve updated this house. I like the layout of the kitchen sink in the island. The pool isn’t that nice, but it’s a pool. Those looking for a spacious lot would like this one. If I were in that category, I don’t think I’d pay 20% over asking price though.

Hi Marion. The pool has been filled since that photo. My realtor talked to the pool guy, and he said the pool is in great shape – it does have some rust stains on the bottom that need to be addressed – but the pool is also much larger than it looks in the photo.

If anyone is interested, I took a bunch of photos while there yesterday for a friend who couldnt come with me to look at the place.

The selling agent told my realtor that they’ve had “lots of phone calls” from people who want to buy the place. My realtor advised us to make a strong offer – if we were interested – and offer 20% over asking, offer to pay closing costs and ask for 30-day escrow. She told me that she’s already had cases like this where a buyer with cash will swoop in, offer the lowball price and a 5 day escrow and it’s done. She added that the bank is all about “net net” so they will go for the most money. There is no way that we’d do that.
