FDotD- 8702 Landmark Circle Redding 96001 Was $1.175M Now $414,500 May 18, 2012A $760,500 discount! Where else can you get a home for 3/4 Million Dollars off? No picture of the kitchen? Nope. It’s listed as a 1996 built 3,358 sqft 4/2.5 on about 3.5 acres. We can see it has a pool with some big rocks to jump off. Representing the seller’s interests is Reciprocal Agent […]
- 10618 Old Oregon Trail Redding 96003 ’86 1784 sqft 3/2 1 acre $159,900 May 17, 2012Here’s a bank owned Ranch Style home on an acre just east of Redding School of the Arts. According to records, this one is an unwanted US Bank asset. Representing their interests in this sale is foreclosure listing broker Diane Abair of Bears Den Realty. She writes of it: “Not far from Shasta College this […]
- 14231 Edwards Redding 96003 Got Shop(s)? $230,000 May 16, 2012In addition to 100ft of creek frontage, this has 2 detached shops, 1500 sqft and 24 X 30. Or, so it said in the prior listing, a failed short sale. The current listing as a HUD foreclosure doesn’t say anything about the creek, but the parcel map makes it appear so. It’s kind of an […]
- 1345 Mistletoe Redding 96002 2396 sqft 4/2 .42 acre $150,000 May 15, 2012This big REO home seems to have last sold for $210K, almost a decade ago. Get it for less now. Looks like the kitchen was stripped. Hey, remember seeing the prosecution for that property crime in the news? Neither do we. Little matter, apparently. Of the many hundreds of stripped REO properties we’ve seen and […]
- 6730 El Camino Redding 96001 Was $275K Now $110,000 May 14, 2012Here’s a HUD home in lovely Westwood Manor. At $78 per sqft, it’s a comp the neighbors may not enjoy. Of the 17 homes that have sold in Westwood Manor over the last 12 months according to the Shasta MLS , the average price was $96 per sqft. So why price this one so far […]
- 11925 Jack Pine Redding 96003 Got Shop? $200,000 May 13, 2012Here’s a home with really nice looking shop, on 1.89 acres. The house is a ’92 3/2 of about 1317 sqft. Here’s a home you bought if you are a US taxpayer. Your Fannie Mae organization now wishes to be rid of it. Did we buy it full price and sell it for a loss? […]
- 3110 Bedrock Redding 96003 Lake Redding Estates $207,000 May 12, 2012Yabba Dabba Doo! There are 2 homes listed for sale on this short street in Lake Redding Estates. This one looks really nice. and as we say (over and over), location is everything in real estate value. This one has it. Not far to the fantastic Sacramento River Trail system, Caldwell Park, McConnell Arboretum, Turtle […]
- 3620 Ouray Shasta Lake City 96019 ’04 1165 sqft 3/2 $93,000 May 11, 2012Tahoe Style? 8 years ago, this home sold new for $135K. Now it’s even more of a bargain. We wonder why the driveway doesn’t quite meet the curb. Ran out of cement? Ah well, an easy fix. Or live with it for 8 years, apparently. Representing the government side of the sale is foreclosure listing […]
- 22132 Graystone Palo Cedro 96073 ’88 3780 sqft 5/4 on 5 acres $230,000 May 10, 2012This country home is just off Deschutes, and features a lot of room for the money. It’s been listed several times for around $400K. We last showed it as a failed short sale. Our impression is that it was used as a senior care facility, or some similar application. A prior listing says the big […]
- 3201 Appian Way Redding 96002 Was $265K Now $62,000 May 9, 2012More than a house, it’s a Rorshach Test. “What do you see when I show you this image?” “Major fixer or tear down, depends on your ambition. Good location on Shasta View near Hartnell Ave. intersection.” So writes foreclosure listing agent Kevin McLachlan of Coldwell Banker. So, what you see before you depends on your […]
