Hi, latesummer, this is not really a meltdown (yet), but I was ranting about an ugly McMansion over at Ben's blog and it occured to me I should check it out on Zillow. I had seen the open house, then the open houses stopped and a For Lease sign appeared. That made me think that maybe the house hadn't sold, but, oddly enough, it did sell.

2203 Overland, zip 90064 (right on the corner of Olympic)

Sold 1/23/07 for a whooping 2,350,000M
Before that, it was a little 1100 sq ft thing that sold in 2004 for $646,000 (still expensive)

Now, can someone tell me how a person would buy such an elephant of a house and put it up for lease a month later? It doesn't make any sense.

Cassiopea, I remember when that horrible thing was being built and I wondered about its location. Sale sounds a bit suspicous to me also. However, there are a lot of stupid people out there with money. Could be a mistake on Zillow, since a For Lease sign has gone up after the open houses.

Glad to see someone has started using these "Area Meltdowns" I hope others start adding to it. Should'nt be to difficult in the near future with the first big wave of ARMs resetting in April.

No, it will just take time. The Westside has not registered the slowdown yet. Asking prices are still through the roof and sellers haven't panicked yet.

Another just listed jewel in my neighborhood. Not melting down yet.

10388 Keswick Ave., LA, 90064

Totally redone Spanish. Nice, in a McMansionish sort of way (I'm beginning to really hate granite), 3130 sqft. Tiny, tiny yard, but the lots are small in that area.

Asking price: $1,895,000

CAN SOMEONE GIVE ME WHATEVER THESE PEOPLE ARE SMOKING???

Previous sales:
6/20/05 $930,000
11/26/03 $678,000

Listings don't mean squat in this type of market. Sounds like they dumped alot of money in it at the wrong time and are in denial about the market. Not having seen it, I can't really comment, but sounds high for the area. They'll probably end up chasing the market down and eventually give it back to the bank. Seen it happen the last time around. Keep your eye on the solds...

Casiopea said...

Yes, they did put a lot of money in it. And you are right, they overdid it for the area, which is mostly older mid-sized unpretentious homes. The closest comp I could find was on the next block and sold recently for 1.6M. It's true, there are still a lot of people with money to sink into overpriced property.

Get ready for the TsunARMi... Adjustable Rate Mortgages are just starting to reset in April. Coming to a neighborhood near you!!

So far, just one entry level house on Bundy close to the 10 freeway has shown a meltdown. But, the median sales price did take a wallop! Do we still have a standoff between buyers and sellers? What will eventually happen in Rancho Park/90064, once summer rolls around?

SUPER MELTDOWN

2247 Manning LA 90064
SFR, 2+1, 1637 sq ft, SOLD 1/23/07 for $1365K, 6075 sq ft LOT

1637/6075 = .269 (HF) House Factor
1.0 - .269 = .731 (LF) Land Factor

.269 x $1365K = $367.2K (HV) House Value
$367.2/1637 = $224.3/sq ft (HV/SQFT) House Value per Square Foot

.731 x $1365K = $997.8K (LV) Land Value
$997.8K/6075 = $164.2/sq ft (LV/SQFT) Land Value per Square Foot

224.3 + 164.2 = 388.5 (HPM) House Price Multiplier



2206 Manning LA 90064
SFR, 3+2, 1975 sq ft, SOLD 3/2/07 for $920K, 6750 sq ft LOT

1975/6750 = .293 (HF)
.293 x $920K = $269.6K (HV)
$269.6K/1975 = $136.5/sq ft (HV/SQFT)

1.0 - .293 = .707 (LF)
.707 x $920K = $650.4K (LV)
$650.4K/6750 = $96.4/sq ft (LV/SQFT)


136.5 + 96.4 = 232.9 (HPM) House Price Multiplier

(HPM/HPM) 232.9/388.5 = .599 (-40.1%) !!!

Generic Viagra (sildenafil citrate; brand names include: Aphrodil / Edegra / Erasmo / Penegra / Revatio / Supra / Zwagra) is an effective treatment for erectile dysfunction regardless of the cause or duration of the problem or the age of the patient.
Sildenafil Citrate is the active ingredient used to treat erectile dysfunction (impotence) in men. It can help men who have erectile dysfunction get and sustain an erection when they are sexually excited.
Generic Viagra is manufactured in accordance with World Health Organization standards and guidelines (WHO-GMP). Also [url=twitter.com/iuyjopg]Viagra Sales Market[/url] you can find on our sites.
Generic [url=http://fovunec.freehostia.com]Ordering Viagra to Canada[/url] is made with thorough reverse engineering for the sildenafil citrate molecule - a totally different process of making sildenafil and its reaction. That is why it takes effect in 15 minutes compared to other drugs which take 30-40 minutes to take effect.

Even in the most sexually liberated and self-satisfied of nations, many people still yearn to burn more, to feel ready for bedding no matter what the clock says and to desire their partner of 23 years as much as they did when their love was brand new.
The market is saturated with books on how to revive a flagging libido or spice up monotonous sex, and sex therapists say “lack of desire” is one of the most common complaints they hear from patients, particularly women.
