This might be a record for the number of price reductions. 25 price reductions in just under 4 months on the market!
8079 Golden Star, Riverside. It's in a good area of Riverside and it sits on 1.4 acres. The home was purchased in 2006 for $945k. Now they are asking $529k. Of course it's a short sale. You gotta give this guy credit for trying. At least he is not like most people that stubbornly hang onto the dream of "not giving it away". This guy has made the right moves. If it doesn't sell reduce the price. The problem is the high end of the market is at a standstill. And the homes that are selling are the pearls and even those have to be priced right.
Check out the price reductions, some are only a day apart and two are on the same day.

Well, I should be able to afford that by Halloween. LOL!
Wait till spring. Then you'll get paid to take it.
Ha! I live around the corner from this house. We are looking to buy and haven't looked at this one yet. I think I'll wait until it forecloses.
Don't get too wound up to buy just yet, There's still a lot of downside risk in this market. it's gotten much worse in the last month with the foreclosure numbers accelerating again and the financial markets coming unglued. If you can't buy for 2000/2001 prices then wait or move on to the next house. I'm in a similar boat. My house is way too small for me and the family. I hate it, but I'm not going buy when prices are dropping 3% a month.
That house sold for $500k in 2003. That would put its value in the mid to high 300s in 2001. It will probably be there again a year from now
Yep, I just wrote a post on my own blog about trying to wait for the market to fall. It's hard, because we need to move ASAP. Might end up renting for a year...
