What is going on? Let's get back to WTF pricing instead of WTF mindsets.

Word!  Ok, going back on track...this one was listed very reasonably at $1,650,000 to sell quickly but then they kept bumping up the price to $1,850,000 then to $1,920,000 then to $1,950,000 and now $1,969,500.  Ummm, message to the seller/realtor this strategy will only hurt you.

Not to mention the 1% buyer agent commission.  I have 3 words for this listing price....NOT GONNA HAPPEN!

Also...some staging/cleaning up/professional photos would go a long way...Just saying.

You mean the lack of staging and cleaning?  Those pictures sure do look like cell phone pictures to me.  This one will be like watching a train wreck.  haha

Agreed that it's a bad strategy. I mean, if they got multiple offers, they could have just countered with higher price. And if they didn't get offers, then how would bumping the listing price going to help? I can't really see the advantage of keep bumping the list price.

And calling this a SFR is a joke. It's definitely a condo with a tiny backyard. I wouldn't pay the original $1.65M for this house, let alone the nearly $2M price.

Talk about a hefty reduction?

Yeah, big time...from $3.4m to $2.55m.  I guess the seller wants it sold quickly.

Went into contract, any guess on what it'll close at?  Guessing the $2.55M was a ploy to drive up bids, would be shocked to see it close at $2.55M...  I'm guessing more around $2.8M, $800K gain in 7 months is still pretty stellar.
 
I agree with you on 2.8

$2.75m is my guess.

$3M.

4,000sqft is the sweet spot in Orchard Hills

Attached condos in Stonegate have officially crossed over the $10M mark -https://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/110-Oasis-92620/home/58556047

Congrats to the seller!

Clearly a fat-fingered sale price entry error - but funny nonetheless  ;D

Only $7,600 per SF....Shady Canyon has nothing on Stonegate.  haha  I think we know that the closing price is obviously $1,260,000 which is $110,000 less than what I sold my model match Oasis listing back last month, I told my seller recently that he got the peak pricing for his condo.

I wouldn't use mine as the base case as I squeeze the last dollar out of buyers for my listings.  The back up buyers were in the $1.3m to $1.32m range so I would see that pricing which would be a 3-5% decline from the blow off top.
 
64 SFRs listed under $2M in Irvine currently - wow. 247 total listings - double wow. How many months inventory is that at the current state of rates/buyer demand?

We have under 2 months of inventory currently, up from 2 weeks of inventory around year end.
