Here's a nice big fat white elephant.  Perhaps a case of 'realtors up to their same old tricks', I saw a 'Sale Pending' on this a couple week's ago.  Ok, benefit of the doubt perhaps there was an offer that fell through?  It was delisted and relisted around the same time.  Were there offers or is it ... REALTOR B.S.?

I watched this place go up.  Clearly a spec house.  $544 a sq ft is "Low Price per sq ft!!!"  6 bdrms, 5 baths, etc. etc.  But I would think anyone shopping in the $3 mil price range would be unimpressed with this place.

This one cracks me up.  It's back to almost $4 million asking.  Listed, delisted, relisted, delisted, relisted.  If you didn't get $2.8 mil why would you get $3.8 mil?   You think people with the means to pay $4 mil don't have access to a computer?  Wait!  Maybe there are multiple cash offers!!
The other day I saw a ghetto truck (COVERED in grafitti) pulled up to it and wondered if the appliances were being stolen.  It has never been occupied.

There were two MLS Listing for this. 80926794 which is the one you are seeing now. And there is a cancelled listing of 80845217.

The price went from 3.7m, down to 2.8, then back up to 3.7m.

Well looky here, we have a re-listing with no history. $3.6 now. Good luck.

Yeah the 1.5 million and above is really slowing down, if you don't pay a 100% cash and plan on staying, you could easily see your substantial down-payment vaporize.

This is comical... 5,500 sq ft.. if we assume 200/ft that's $1.1 mil... about right

looks to back up to the San Andreas fault... good luck with that.

Quite near I280... I am sure the sound of traffic is soothing to the ears.

To be fair, it is not on the fault and it is not very close to I-280. Actually a very desireable area. But, this is an 'investor' spec house. Looks like a group who bought the lot and spec'd the house. But the construction is just 'ok' and the materials / fixtures etc. are just the upscale Home Depot variety. When you are talking millions, you expect a little more. And the design is not good, from the way it is oriented on the lot to the architecture.
