delusion isn't dead


It's nice to see that delusional sellers are still out there. Check out this guy that bought a new home from a builder just a few months ago. It looks to me he hasn't done anything and now puts the home on the market for $145k more that he paid in March. The letters WTF come to mind! The freaking builder tried for two years to dump this thing before he found this sucker. Now a few months after buying this dog the guy thinks he can make $145K. Oh my.....

Here's the home, 16773 Ponderosa. It's a big home in Woodcrest but the area is kinda funky. It's surrounded by small older homes and a whole bunch of empty lots that the builder (Gallery Homes) has given up on for now. These houses didn't even come with fences and from the pics the buyer still has not put one in. The house is nice enough, I actually looked at it when it was for sale from the builder, but the area isn't and the fact there are no fences makes it really strange. At his $158 s/f asking price he is about $50 s/f higher than the nearby comps.

I'm actually seeing quite a lot of these recent buys hitting the market again. I don't think these are flip attempts just buyers that are trying to get out without losing any cash (which means selling for about 10% more than they paid). Good luck on that!
