According to public records, the current owner took out an adjustable loan with Downey Savings and Loans for $587,950, which is 80% of the loan. However, now it is listing for much less than that so I am guessing this is a short sale even though the listing doesn’t say so. The pictures look decent and the roof is new, but I think it is still a bit too expensive for San Bruno where the median price per squarefoot is $419. This home is also open on Sunday January 25th, 2009.

This bank owned antique home is very close to downtown San Mateo. I think it is owned by Wells Fargo. It is appealing for the price, but the age of the home may be problematic.

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.

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!
