New north of Montana

Hey, how about this photo? Such composition and care to best frame the house! Think I have a future shooting MLS photos?

Anyway ... here are two new north of Montana listings, both a bit above lot value, and looking like plateau pricing from latter 2005. Above is a 3 bed / 2 bath at 738 22nd, asking $2,395K.

"Gated Spanish Oasis in prime SM neighborhood. Originally built in 1928 and updated tastefully with todays lifestyle in mind. 3bds, 1 3/4 bas, with additional separate guest unit with 3/4 bath in back. Cooks kitchen with Viking range, newer stainless appliances. Grassy front and back yards, with landscape by Greenprint Designs. Steps to shops and restaurants. Franklin school district. Move right in!..."

Second is this 3 bed / 2.5 bath at 219 23rd, asking $2,195K. Less fixed up, $200K less.

"3BD, 2.5BA charming home in prime north of Montana location. Franklin School District. Features include spacious living room with fireplace, hardwood floors & crown molding opens to family room. Kitchen with breakfast area. Detached garage, private grassy backyard. Very livable home or great development opportunity. Tons of potential!..."

Of the last pair of these on January 12, 231 18th is "Looking for Backup" and 334 15th left the listings pretty fast.

You should send that first photo to "Bad MLS photo of the day".

Hey, I know WSB is pretty Santa Monica focused, but you might want might want to look into this one, just a stones throw from SMO: http://www.redfin.com/stingray/do/printable-listing?listing-id=1090693

Current owner (realtor, of course) tried to flip it (made minor, cosmetic improvements). The home is in the landing path of the Santa Monica Airport and has one side to an alley.

Realtor purchased for $612k in October 06 and originally priced it in spring 07 at approx. $850k.

Over the next 9 moths or so the price went down to $739k. (owner rejected offers for far more than that, along the way down.) Then the owner received a NOD in January.

Owners reaction: Price raised $50k. Now selling for $789k.

I guess the low price was the problem. I'm sure it'll sell now.
