I watched this thing go up. They should market the outdoor putting green I got a glimpse of before the privacy fence went up. A Hole in One!

Is anyone else wondering about what sort of person has bad credit, but can afford a $95,000 cash down payment?

I cannot believe anyone would pay $959,000 for this. Even with bad credit. But, well, you never know.

I used to love the old farmhouse-style house that sat on that corner. If you dig in the records bin a bit, you’ll find that the owner of the other unit on this corner used to live elsewhere nearby, owned the “farmhouse”, tore it down, and built two units, one to live in and one to sell. The “to sell” worked out great for him, but not for the schmuck who bought it and is now foreclosing on it.

FYI, the bungalows in this neighborhood sold for about $120K sixteen years ago, and upwards of $400K for a nice one in recent years. However, the owner of the property across Greenbriar has been trying to sell his rental property “for lot value” which apparently started around $380K a couple years ago but isn’t even getting nibbles at $300K now.

I sometimes cringe at designs that borrow so much because it usually comes out bad, but this actually look good.

The other unit, which may or not be for sale, is much nicer and has a GREAT pool. When originally built neither was over $900,000, so why is it now higher in this market?
