But this was a short sale and should have been done in an open market bidding system that is transparent to all buyers. You been on that diatribe many times. This was as far from transparent as a deal could be. Change of heart?
If you saw a 1.15M short sale in contingent status would you bother to go look at it if you were looking to spend 900K? I’m guessing you arent running around looking at short sales in contingent status with accepted offers at asking prices $250K more than you are willing to spend. I cant imagine that the percentage of buyers who would do that even approaches 1%.[/quote]
Ok… I’m confused.
How was this not transparent.Looking at the listing history on redfin.
http://www.redfin.com/CA/San-Diego/3345-Lucinda-St-92106/home/5742637It was first listed in Jan 2009, delisted the next day – then put back on with a new MLS in Feb 09. rinse and repeat – list/delist… but basically on the market the whole time… until Jan 2010 when it’s marked contingent. That must not have worked – because in Aug 2010 it’s relisted.
Later that month – it’s listed again (7th MLS since Jan 09) at $1,050,000. A couple price changes upward… then it’s contingent in Oct and then Dec 09. It’s relisted Feb 16, 11, with a price change to 1,130,000. 2 days later it’s marked contingent.It seems like anyone who wanted to make an offer on this could. And that at least 3 offers had occurred previously (3 contingents before the final one.)

ParticipantI really like sdduuuude’s advice to set a payment – and bank the difference between rent and payment till you get your 20%.
It does 2 things:
– Gets you comfortable with the cash flow you’ll have once you actually do buy.
– Gets your nest egg built up quickly.Too many people underestimate how broke they’ll be when they buy a house beyond their means. this way you know if it’s a stretch or doable -because you’ll have been living with that expense/payment prior to pulling the trigger.

ParticipantThe one in North Beach, WA looks like a mobile home in the picture on the archinnovations site.
I see that the trend of curtain walls applied to multi-story buildings is represented in the multi-family entries. That fits with a couple of articles I’ve seen in professional periodicals my husband leaves lying around.

ParticipantI know in our case – we’re listed as being in the “fire zone” because of the canyon behind the houses on the other side of the street. The issue is that we’re less than 300 feet from the edge of that canyon to our closest property line.
We have AAA insurance – and were told we would not be taken as new customers because of it. But we can continue.
