Anyone else have a headache from reading that thing? This is punctuation and abbreviation hell, but the spelling is on point. Congrats?

And speaking of headaches, how about this photo:



I'm particularly fond of this essential snapshot:



You really put the F in effort, guy.

The opening salvo of the listing description is “HUGE PRICE REDUCTION!!!” but in typical realtard fashion the last price reduction was in June 2008.

Jun 13, 2008 Price Changed $364,000
Jan 08, 2008 Price Changed $379,000
Dec 06, 2007 Listed $419,000

LOL! What a moron!



I want to buy this 104-year-old dump simply for the amazing haunted houses I can put together during Halloween!

And you know it’s a rough ‘hood when the dude .17 miles down the street can’t get rid of his house for $100,000 ($120 per square foot!).

Shall we revisit my previous post about Martin Luther King Blvd?



Do you want to hear something really sad? Even if this fool cut the price in half tonight to $182,000, it would STILL be asking more than the vast majority of nearby sellers.

And so far this year, there was only one house that sold for more than $250,000. Which means, just judging by comps, this dude is already at least$100,000 overpriced. Doesn’t look good for this bumbling bushmaster.

466 days on the market? Really? No inkling that you might need to lower the price at some point in the last 10 months. No?

Cool, see you in another 466 days.

And, just for fun, here is another Long Beach house with serious foliage problems:

  1. What is up with the taxable value being $375k, yet the tax so low? You would think that someone did a tear-down renovation, and applied some senior property tax exemption.

    Except: missing the renovation.

    The only thing this listing needs is the words: Lot Value, and a picture of a huge bulldozer.

  2. I've seen the inside of that second house. It has a lot more problems than just the foliage. Too bad, because once upon a time it was a gorgeous craftsman. I believe someone finally offered $340K for it.
