I am in contract to buy a single-family home located near Winchester & Williams in West San Jose for $500k. The home has 3 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, approximately 1,650 square feet. Lot size is almost 10,000 square feet. Home was built in 1950. It's not on MLS. I believe it's in Campbell school district (Lynhaven Elementary School, Monroe Middle School?). Zillow's estimate is $650k. If you're interested, pay me a $25k finder's fee and it's yours. I will donate 10% of my finder's fee to Patrick.net if the deal is closed with a buyer from this site.

(Note from Patrick: moving this to housing crash forum, because only exact address titles are allowed in the property forum.)

Are you a Realtor??

What's the property tax gonna be each year?

3   B.A.C.A.H.   2010 May 2, 4:23am  

Ok, that's $500 per month. If I am rich enough to be in a high tax bracket like you are, then maybe discounted by about 41% or so, to about $300 per month.

Reduced perhaps, but not exactly the same thing as being covered and paid by itemized deductions. Don't forget there's a large exemption for folks who don't itemize, too.

E-man yes I am interested, how to contact you?

$160K prebubble prices for the area, $400K is way too much. Maybe $250K would be reasonable.

Not far from that location a builder put up some condo starting at around $380K for 1/1. Current sales banner last I saw was around $230K or so... First buyers took a 40% hit.

Can you back up the pricing of the unit with any comparable houses? Are they being compared with sales or listings? Can you write anything else about the house, as your description is fairly vague!

Im also interested in this, how do I contact you

If you're in contract you have nothing to fear by giving out the extact address, right?

$250K would be reasonable.

Not with 4% 15-year fixed rates. Putting $100K down, $400K at 4% is around $1000/mo for the cost-of-money.

Now, should we see 10% interest rates in the absence of a late 90s-like employment wave, then, yeah, $250K would be reasonable.

Cash buyers will look at what cap rate they can get on their $500K. If it's rentable at $2K/mo then $350K pencils out better.

Rents go up or down from here? History says up. 30-year treasury says down or stable. The Japan liquidity trap experience says down. I don't have a clue.

What do you mean it's not on MLS? Because it's on a pending status so the public can't see it? Or it was not listed on MLS at all?

These are the available listings in the area. It's very vague as the prices go from 325k - 1.68 million

Any finally, this is what $525k gets you in that area.

13   Kat7507   2010 May 5, 1:17pm  

Vain, do you have access to what a property sold for right when it closes?? I usually rely on my local paper to get that info and it usually takes a couple of months. Thanks!

I have access to the price when it is sold. I think you can get that information on Redfin as well no? But there is controversy whether or not those numbers are accurate because technically, a real estate agent can put in any number he/she wants (on the MLS that is) where as Redfin goes by county records. But so far it looks legit to me.

I do not see pending sale prices. Those just show list prices.

Thanks Vain. I haven't tried Redfin, but will check it out.
