Another one that did not hold its value that was paid brand new.

New Price: 10/2007 for $829K

That is a major short sale. $449K (54%) loss in just over 2 years time.

How does this recent $380K sales price affect the adjacent.

The bigger they are: we first saw this house from the water, it strongly appealed to me because I am from the Pacific, and seeing the familiar architecture it immediately peaked my interest. That was in 07. Unfortunately the house inside is not representative of the architecture in my opinion at all and plus there are 65k year (gasp) taxes which I would never pay ,I am not a club person and its way too big for us. But it was fun to ponder for a while. Out of curiosity been watching the house, someone purchased it from an estate in 07 for 3.5 and now it is listed for 3,4999. listing here:
click it is rumoured speculators who paid cash.
purchase here:
purchase It is also rumoured that the flippers put around 250k in the house trying to make it more asian inspired. Owning for 3 years, plus upgrades and commissions might add up to around 500k plus loss.

Massive tract home McMansion foreclosure that the bank took back 3/22/2010. This baby sports a rather impressive 4600 sq ft.

Are you ready for this...purchased 5/2006 for $1.2 million. Thats is correct, over $1 mil for a tract home. Assessor says market is $655K. Could this be a strategic default or a failed short sale?

We took time this AM to read the writings of Martin Armstrong, incerated genuis, con man or fool??? interesting concepts about cycles. Worth the read if you venture to business insider. I downloaded and read some of his writings. What is even more interesting in one of his charts he places real estate as bottoming out in 2012 when incidentially the sun is supposed to flip poles, housing then gains to 1998 levels in 2015 then falls for the next 26 years until 2033. What is even more of note is that much of the reading we have been doing even from money and other sources say about the same, 2011 or 12 bottom etc. Coincidence or cycles??
