I first put this one up over a year ago. Looks like the price has been cut another $75,000 since then. This is still a short sale which means that the troubled sellers are still holding onto the property. Hopefully it will sell soon?

Here is another home that’s cheaper than 2001 and more than 50% off its peak. It looks like quite a fixer, and it is still priced above the median price per square foot of Daly City. This is probably not a surprise but it was also financed 100% by loans in 2005.

This home is now $23,000 above its 2001 price. It was funded by a $143,000 fixed mortgage and a $572,000 adjustable mortgage in its 2005 sale. Yup, that’s another 100% financed home and now it is a short sale. There is an open house on 4/5/2009 from 1 to 4pm.

It seems that this was originally bought with 2 fixed loans that totaled 100% of $725k, and then the owners refinanced in 2006 into two variable loans totaling $774k. This means there might have been some cash out. This is a short sale, and I guess the sellers won’t really lose much since they don’t have to pay back the money they cashed out. There is an open house from 2 to 4pm on the 28th.

I first mentioned this home in the post about multifamily properties. Now it is down another $300k. This is another short sale. It is in a decent neighborhood near Central Park and you could rent out half of it so it might almost be worth it if you can secure financing.
Here is the math. Suppose you put 20% down and finance 460k, which is still a conforming loan in San Mateo, then at 5% the mortgage is $2469 a month. Then you need to add around $600 a month in property tax and another $70 to $100 in insurance. If you have a tenant on one half of the property then you could collect rent of $1500. Add in some tax deductions and this place is almost cheaper than renting. Of course, there are utilities and maintenance costs, too.

This is probably the cheapest 2 bedroom condominium in Redwood City right now. It is in a decent neighborhood and the HOA is a fairly low $200 a month. However, this is a fixer upper and a short sale, so it may be even cheaper once it forecloses.
