From 1990 to 1998 price inched 25K. Bearly 10% which would be normal. so even with 30% higher from 1998 your talking at best $390 - 400K. Therefore $575K is certainly way overpriced.
Certainly more room for declines since similar homes on Redfin shows $475-480K.

Btw I am always curious when there is a super low price like that $17k in the records - what does that mean? It happens sometimes. Did somebody actually sell at a friendly price to their brother? Or is it just a screwup in the record keeping...?

This one went pending after a 25k price reduction and came back on the market.
What is very interesting is that within a day or two of this going pending and before it went back to active, another home nearby with similar age and sqft was listed at the same list price. Do these realtors time this stuff and talk to each other a lot? I'd think so. Is there a possibility that they wait and ensure there aren't too many houses listed at the same time - I'm guessing they do. I don't think it's illegal, probably smart sales but I don't like it.
Someone bought this in 09 and started an extensive remodel. They did the house completely but the backyard still has something like a green house that is an eyesore. There is a nice pool. This has 3 beds (originally 4 beds, but 2 beds were converted in to one larger one). The baths, flooring (laminate), paint, kitchen are all updated and nice. The listing price is 575k - seems overpriced in comparison with the listings around. The yard is mostly concrete and some cactus (desert relief?) aside from the pool. It's a corner lot. The block has a couple of short sales, a REO and a regular listing. It's close to snell ave and 85
