This is actually a nice looking larger home in Belmont.  The owners that sold the home for 1.2 million definitely made out like bandits.  It seems that they bought the place in 1999 for $241k, and then refied and took out a loan worth $663.5k in 2003 and then sold the home to the latest seller in trouble in 2006.  It’s amazing that this home was only $241k in 1999, though.  Adjusted for inflation $241k should be only worth $309k now.  I highly doubt that the home would drop another 600k, but another $100 to $200k might be possible.

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 is open for the next 3 Sundays from 1 to 4 pm.   This is a short sale on a good sized lot, but the price per square foot is still above average.  Before the last sale this one was sold for $241,000 in 1999, which means that the last last owner made nearly a million dollars.  No wonder so many people became obsessed with house flipping.  As I say about pretty much all short sales, potential buyers should just wait until it goes into foreclosure and get it for even less money.

Another cheap condo near $100k.  However, this one is a short sale so the lender may want offers above the list price.
