This listing first came up in May for $650k, and then it probably got foreclosed on, and now it’s back on the market as a REO for around 70k less than the May price.   That’s a decent discount of $10k per month, but it’s still $572 per square foot.

Okay, on a first glance this looks like a super good deal, but then if you read the description it makes you think to yourself, “what the hell am I buying?”

This is the property description: “Occupant is a 60 year old female in good health. (she states) She was bequesthed a life estate in the property. She must pay all expenses, ie taxes, insurance, maintenance, etc. What is being sold is the remainder inerest.”

Are you buying the home with the occupant inside? Does she even own the house? It seems all a bit iffy. The listing agent also doesn’t know how to spell “bequeathed” and “interest”.

I’ve visited this condo complex before when my husband and I were looking for a place to rent. It is located right next to the 101, but if you are in a rear unit it’s not very noisy. The rooms have good sizes, but it’s a bit old. There also isn’t that much amenities in the complex. The asking rent was $1600 a month, and we thought it was decent, but we didn’t choose it because of the location. Anyway, at this price, if you put 20% down and qualify for the best 30 year fixed loan right now with a 5.25% interest rate, you could possibly be paying less than rent if you itemize your taxes. Here are the calculations:

Loan: 231920 30 year fixed at 5.25%

Monthly mortgage payment: 1280.67

Monthly association fee: 340 includes landscaping and common area insurance

Taxes: Currently $482 a month according to county records, but it’s possible to get it reduced after you purchase it for the new price.

Additional insurance: 50 a month

Total: $2152.67

If you itemize your taxes and deduct mortgage interest and tax then you could get a few hundred dollars back a month in taxes depending on your tax bracket and around $270 a month is equity in the first year. If you negotiate the price down another $30k or so you’d be definitely paying less than rent. This is a bank owned property that has been on the market for a very long time so it is possible you can get a bigger discount. Even though this isn’t really the most desirable part of San Mateo, it’s nice to see that buy and rent is almost in sync.
