"Ouch" is also a four letter word. Here is a bank owned tract home McMansion sporting a respectable 3500 sq feet that is 1 day new to the MLS with a major price reduction.

ON MLS: M1374008 asking $346K

Purchased: 3/2007 for $730K

http://www.bcpa.net/RecInfo.asp?URL_Folio=513936021800

This is a $384K (53%) loss.

How does a $346K asking price affect the adjacent.

Purchased: 8/2003 for $392K
Purchased: 2/2007 for $610K

"Ouch" again. Here is a another bank owned tract home McMansion sporting a respectable 3400 sq ft that is 2 days new to the MLS.

ON MLS: N267656 asking $328K

Purchased: 12/2006 for $810K

http://www.bcpa.net/RecInfo.asp?URL_Folio=513936022820

That is a $482K (60%) loss. If you include a 6% sales commision it just makes it to the $.5 million loss club at $501K

How does a $328 asking price affect the adjacent.

Purchased: 2/2004 for $381K
Purchased: 7/2008 for $370K (this was also a foreclosure with a previous sales price of $875K)

A more and more common thread here is when you see these foreclosures invariably the property assessor's market value is way below the purchase price...is it a strategic default?
