This home is in a decent neighborhood of San Mateo, but it is fairly nondescript and now has the “appliance-ripped-out” look of foreclosures. It is currently owned by Aurora Lending Services LLC in Colorado. It is down $400,000 from its 2007 sale price, but it is doubtful if it’s worth even $494k now.

This is probably a pricing mistake, but here is a screenshot of the listing page:
Too bad you can’t take advantage of pricing mistakes on houses online. I would totally buy it for $499. Lets see how long it takes for the real estate agent to fix this.

This little shack is currently owned by HSBC. It is incredible that someone actually bought this for $589k a few years ago. This is not exactly in a good neighborhood.

This bank owned property is probably one of the cheapest single family homes on the Peninsula and it looks like it still has some appliances left. It’s about $460k off its peak price, and that’s pretty sad.

This home at 177 Velasco was first listed in April 2007. Now it’s once again on the market at an even lower price. What’s interesting to note is the sales history of this home. First it was sold for $670k in 2004 to an Allen, Tina N with two Countrywide loans that added up to 100% of the home. And then in 2005 the home was sold between Nguyen, Trang K and Nguyen, Hung for $750k. Again this was done with a 100% Countrywide loan. Then finally Allen, Nhi T sold the home to Abiva, Jeremy and Allen, Tina Nhi in 2006 for $865k. It seems like Allen, Nhi T and Allen, Tina Nhi are the same person. Additionally, if you look at the sales history for another foreclosed property at 165 Velasco you’ll see the same sale prices of $670k to $865k and the same repeating names of Allen, Nhi T, Nguyen, Hung, and Nguyen, Trang K where Allen, Nhi T sells 165 Velasco to the Nguyens for $865k. I’m not quite sure what’s going on, but the bottom line is that Countrywide definitely lost money on these.
