I would have put in some landscaping. The listing calls this a feature, but I think of it as a bug just like you -- it looks awful: 2200 sq ft of concrete to enjoy the VIEW. vain already pointed out that this house had trees that were removed. vain -- you also suggested that all the concrete helped salvage the lot? Can you give more detail on that? This lot (backyard) was downwards sloped. I estimate that the very end of the lot is ~25 feet lower than the ground where the house sits on. A foundation/concrete slab was built to try to make use of some of the land. It is now flat on ~2200 sq feet (that is what is claimed). I think the usable back yard is more like 900 sq feet or so. The seller must be confused. 2200 may be cubic feet since that's what he probably ordered to fill the slope.

This time they reduced the number of days on the market down to 88 days. It used to be about 200 days. But then they removed some of the previous listings and delistings. I suppose they are trying to make this house more appealing (or less pathetic) by giving the illusion it is less stagnant. Tricky bastards. http://www.redfin.com/CA/Daly-City/233-Dennis-Dr-94015/home/1618194

Also, it is in the process of converting a 0.5 bathroom to a full bathroom (adding a shower stall). He's wasting more money. He may as well just reduce the price by the amount being spent on the bathroom conversion.

    50   12:54am Tue 18 Oct 2011   Share   Quote   Permalink   Like   Dislike   vain says Price decreased to $599k, and now has increased to $650k. Maybe there was too much interest at $599k. Commission has also increased to 4%. Any agent that can convince a buyer to take this would get paid $26k. Wow. Hmmm, maybe Vain is on to something here. We could call this "Occupy Patrick.net". .... Just do what Vain did, write the "owner" investors of hopelessly underwater SFBA properties, and challenge their sanity, with more realistic prices, which apparently goads the "owner" into listing a delusional price, causing them to never sell their property, defaulting, and taking them out of the market as investors. This could go along with Patricks thread on accelerating the real estate collapse. Nicely done Vain.

    51   4:08pm Fri 21 Oct 2011   Share   Quote   Permalink   Like   Dislike   This seller missed his chance. There was someone willing to pay $536k for a similar home. http://www.redfin.com/CA/Daly-City/345-Dennis-Dr-94015/home/917706 He might have had him if he wasn't unrealistic about his list price. You can tell he hesitated between $529k and $549k. If it was $529k, the buyer obviously should have picked 233 Dennis rather than 345 Dennis as it is more superior. Interesting that 345 Dennis' owner is also the listing agent, and also the selling agent.

Per the agent's comment on Redfin for 345: "Great home for entertaining - good layout and open floor plan. Views of the East Bay from the yard. One garage has been converted into a family room." Not so sure about the legality of it. But there's your extra square footage.

The investor did not do his homework as to what type of buyers purchase here, and what type of properties they are looking for. Unfortunately, he has picked the worse possible type of property there. I passed by the property on foot recently. The new metal parts outside are getting a little rusty and has cob webs already.

Why doesn't this house fit the demand of what they are looking for? What makes it the worst type of property out there. Just curious to hear more. The buyers here are interested in expansion potential. It either is a 1 floor home where they can expand up. Or a 2 floor home where they can expand down. Now here at 233 Dennis Dr, you are stuck in between. The foot print of this property is too small. I do not think they are approving floor plans to enlarge the foot print easily these days in this area. Stucco has proven to be a bad material as an exterior here. The seller should have remodelled it with siding instead. I don't see many flipped homes sell in this area anymore. Majority of the buyers here can (and want to) do the work themselves.

I've noticed agents try to give themselves fancy titles. He's just an agent with a broker license (Broker Associate). He's not the owner. These RE Agents claiming to be specialists of this nature should be a conflict of interest. All he wants is for you to list your home via Short-Sale with him. He gets nothing if you do a loan mod, or if you get foreclosed on, or if you win the lottery and pay off the property instantly. It makes perfect sense why one should steer you towards a Short-Sale. But not all agents are like this. There are honest ones out there ;) You just have to look harder.
