I like Aliso, but the pricing there has gotten crazy. It was always much less than Irvine, but now it's getting close.
Newer Irvine listings with crazy WTF asking prices from equity sellers
- Thread starter usctrojancpa
- Start date
NEW -> Contingent Buyer Assistance Program
And yes, I would buy a murder/suicide house for 30% below market as long as there's no remaining evidence (stains, smells, etc).
The home has been done very nicely. Purchased in 2018 for $1.5M, from my assessement, it has at least 300K in upgrade landscape and pool.
Inside and outside looks fantastic. The history of the homes will filter out 90% of the home buyers, since, majority of the buyer on the market today
will buy it for move in and live in. I will take a 25 % reduction on the original purchased price in 2018 for ghosts family. Completey serious.
I think the fair market price for this should be around $2.5 to $2.8 million with the upgrades, pool, and the large yard without the ghosts. This comparable just listed today for $2.35 million with far inferior options and no pool - https://www.redfin.com/CA/Irvine/57-Lugano-92602/home/112726807. Very tempting to buy as an investment property and rent it out until ghosts move on in peace.

I mean they showed the guard gate as the default image on the listing, so that significantly increases the perceived value.

IIRC, Lago is a detached condo, just like Bluffs, so yeah, $1,000/sq ft is WTF!
Wow, this went for $3.9m ($150k over asking)

The carrara marble tiles outside are pretty cool, haven't seen that done before - must be super slippery when wet unless someone makes a textured version for outdoor use now.

Woodbury has its premium but not $1k/sqft. Lots of people love woodbury because of the amenities and the school for some reasons.
Sold my house there last year for near $800/sqft and i thought it was already expensive
.
The only thing I miss is Woodbury 7 pools vs 2 in Eastwood.

should be even lower than that since it's next to the 261 freeway. or maybe we should call it the murder and freeway premium?Is it worth it buying this "murder suicide" house for a great price at around 25%-30% below market?

Just saw a listing (here not irvine) advertising assumable loan at 6 5/8% interest. They want an extra 10% from their purchase price 6 months ago. (a nothing special 8 year old house) LOL!!!! I should go to an open house so I can laugh at the realtor.

I don't believe in ghosts (in the Hollywood sense) but just the bad juju vibes will keep me from buying this even for a discount.

This one is inferior in every single way, smaller sq ft and 1.5 fewer baths. Not to mention quite a bit smaller lot size as well. I would say FMV for ghost house is probably on the upper end of your estimate, $2.8M.

The fact that we think a house next to the freeway is worth 2.8m without the ghost tells one exactly that Irvine market makes zero sense. Irvine home prices are artificially jacked up and supported by FCBs. The primary residence owners are the ones suffering because they are paying for the artificially inflated price. it's all good and fun until something bad happens on the political side.
