So...it looks like the lenders are either trying to profit on this one or...IMHO...list their own REO at an over inflated price so that they can help the $800+/sf downtown condos appear like bargains to help move product.

Interesting "dip" in Zillow's graph with a nice spike right back up.

Sweet Pad.

Now asking $899,000. Busy street. Crappy lot. Tax assessed at 300K.

Jeez.

The only way this doesn't point to mental retardation on the part of the current owner is that they were given a huge chunk of change under the table.

Someone has decided they REALLY want to sell after not being too serious about it for the past year. This property was foreclosed on from the previous owner.

8516 5th Ave NE
Seattle, WA 98115

Originally listed at $579K
Now asking $485K

This place sat on the market for months in the $550K+ range and the owner, who happens to own several flips in the area, was content to let it sit and appreciate. For some reason he seems to have had a change of heart this fall.

How about this one - purchased 8/23
Listed for sale again 22 days later at $140K higher price!

What kind of changes could be made in 3 weeks that would add $140K value?

Audacious Flips and Renovations
