What's really happening

Reader Osa posted this,

golfer_x. Why do you always show the low side of San Jacinto? Why not take a look at Trulia. 605 Wamblee (3127 sq feet) - $110 sq/ft 496 Peregrine (3127 sq feet) - $103 sq/ft. Why don't you show what is really happening

Ok, I'll take the challenge. Let's look at what is really happening in San Jacinto and these two properties in particular.


605 Wamblee Ln, San Jacinto. A 3 bedroom, 3 bath home of 3127 sq/ft. reader Osa indicates it recently sold for $110 sq/ft. Well it did, kinda. That sale was the bank foreclosing on the property. They took it back for what I will assume was the loan balance of $345,095 from poor Hector Escamilla and his wife Rebeca. It's not currently listed but the bank purchase was fairly recent so they may not have it out to a broker yet. This home sold new in 2006 for $411K. Any guesses on what it will list for? This house had been for sale by owner for quite a while. He even tried an auction without any success.



The second home is;

496 Peregrine Ln, San Jacinto. This is a 3127 sq/ft home, also with 3 beds and 3 baths. It was purchased in Sept 06 for $375K. The owner had some trouble paying for it and the bank took the home back for $324,068 in August. It listed as an REO in Sept for $205k. The price has dropped to $189,900 as of Oct 20th. The asking price is 49% less than the selling price only 2 years ago. It's currently listed for $61 sq/ft.



And that is 'What's Really Happening!"
