This is an interesting property because it has a sales history from the last housing bubble to the current housing bubble. There are enough datapoints for me to make a graph.
Series 1 is a series of the sales prices, ending with the current listing price. Series 2 is a graph of the original $144,000 sales price in 1989 appreciating by 3% per year. After nearly 20 years, the current sales price does not beat the inflation adjusted price from 1989! However, the person that bought in 1995 did get an excellent rate of appreciation. So I guess catching the bottom and selling at the peak is the most profitable thing to do.

After being on the market for six months, this property finally dropped its price by $455100. That is a significant price reduction and perhaps it will accept some bids now? The price per square foot is way below the market price for the neighborhood, and the house looks quite decent.

This home is from a tip by reader Carina. She says “Just wanted you to know, 1025 Toyon, a bank owned property, just came on the market today at $649K. Its a nice size, 3/2 at almost 2000 sq ft, but it is right across the street from the train tracks.” This is indeed a nice sized house in Burlingame. It’s kind of odd that the bank took it back for $935k when the assessed value is only $700k or so. I guess someone went crazy on the cash out refinances. Thanks for your tip Carina!

These condos rent for about $1400 a month, so $168,000 is almost reasonable. It does have a pretty high HOA and it is located in Crown Colony, which is a pretty big and old complex in Daly city.

This is a pre-foreclosure, which means that if it doesn’t sell and gets foreclosed it will probably come back on the market at a lower price. It’s a small rancher in Pacifica that doesn’t seem all that special. I would buy it if it were another 50% off.
