Yikes! Only 2 sales for this week!

October 11th, 2007 · No Comments

I hope it’s a technical mistake and I’ll find an error I’ve made.

I’ve heard September home sales were off the charts - off the bottom of the charts - as the “sub-prime meltdown” in August hit the September closings.

Any day now I’ll get the numbers from ASU so I can quantify the decline.

If it makes home sellers feel any better, phone and email inquiries have really picked up for me in the last week.

Well, this home has an interesting story.

It’s in Vista Del Lago but it’s not on the water. It has 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths and 3,100 (tax records) or 3,300 (old MLS listing) square feet.

It hit the market on May 31, 2007 with a price of $1,325,000 in the MLS. That seller sure wasn’t shy.

The MLS listing is confusing, it refers to increasing the size to 3,300 feet. I don’t get it. Were they pricing it remodeled? Anyway, the home was completely original and needed a total makeover.

The price was reduced to $899,000 on June 26. The MLS listing was canceled entirely on July 24.

It next showed up in the county records as closing on September 21 for $745,000.
