So, if you read my occasional posts on L.A. Land you may recall the last house on which E and I officially bid (pictured above); I posted about it here. We were pretty disappointed when we didn't get this house because we loved it. But the winning bidder offered way over list (which was a bit of a head scratcher for us because it was a slightly over priced fixer to begin with). We figured the current owners must have loved it way more than we did.
Or not. Because now it's back on the market. So either they got themselves into a heap of financial woe or they were competing for the title "Dumbest Flippers of All Time". I suspect it was the latter.
Anyhoo... I thought y'all would enjoy watching them go down in flames because, in my mind, they stand for everything that is wrong with the housing market today: (1) they bought a house that they either couldn't afford or had no plans to live in; (2) they did a cheap interior reno (no additional square footage) and expect to see a profitable return after a mere 5 months holding period; and (3) they got cash back at close and (temporarily at least) drove up the comps in the neighborhood.
This house won't sell for a dime over $720k (which is about $70k less than they paid). Mark my words.
