900 SOUTH Rd Belmont, CA 94002 – Realtor was foreclosed on

About half a year ago I wrote this post: 900 SOUTH Rd Belmont, CA 94002 – Realtor in Trouble?

It was the listing for a wooden shell for  1.3 million dollars owned and listed by a realtor based in Redwood City.  It seems that the home actually got foreclosed on in June by JP Morgan Chase  for the amount of $1,168,813 and went back on the market in late July for only $693,000.  It is an REO and now it is pending without release so if it actually sold for asking the bank is taking a hit of almost $500k.  I guess the lot is quite large, but the new pictures look like some people have been stealing wood from the place:

I hope the new owner finishes the home and enjoys it.

512 Stanford Avenue – Up for grabs at auction

A bit over a year ago I posted about a triple homicide at the property at 512 Stanford Avenue in Redwood City.   At that time the home was listing for $337k and the last sale price was 587k in January 2007.  Now you have 8 days left to grab this property at auction.

According to the Hudson and Marshall website, the last highbid is only $167,500, and this is the description:

I used to live next to  these million dollar townhouses in San Carlos.  They are at the top of the hills and have a nice view, but I’m not sure if it’s worth a million.  Well, I guess now it is down to 844k and it is an REO.  The association fee is over $500 a month, though.

Remember this horror show of a house? Well, this one isn’t that bad, but the bank must have hired someone who just really couldn’t care less about selling this house to take the pictures.   It looks like it’s been squatted in.  Here are some piles of trash:

Finally the requisite scary backyard:

It looks like this home first went on sale in 2007 and was listed for a total of five times. Now it is a REO. The price has been cut by at least 100k since its first listing and it is down a bit more than 170k from the last sale price. Good luck moving this one.

Yup, this little rancher has rolled back to below its 2000 sale price. What a difference 9 years make. This is currently owned by U.S. Bank and it is definitely the cheapest single family home in Redwood City now based on price per square foot. It looks like it needs some fixing, and it is not in the best neighborhood, but at least it is priced to be affordable to median income families now.
