Same, says bank bought it at foreclosure auction for 133k in 2022. I tried to buy it for 140k short sale in 2020 but same bank kept rejecting my offer even though it was over the FHA constraints. F*** shady Banks

It was following market Zestimate trend for the region until September, then it either held its valuation or would slightly trend up beating all odds. Then last week, went up another ~12k USD when listing now says its going to auction. Start bid 30k, anything over 90k USD and you've lost money on this thing TBH.

I'm wondering if it matters that it is not livable? Hasn't had heat/air-conditioning since 2019/2020, hydronic heating system burst, plumbing burst, garbage all over property. Broken windows, locks and doors. Toxic waste leeching into well. Abandoned cars and boats littered about. Zestimate a strong 200-250K though. Roof needed replaced 10 years ago, siding missing all over, moldy food in fridge and basement. Wood burner not properly vented, soot all over a room and ceiling. Undisclosed secondary well, barn that is partially sunk into mud. Oldschool electrical wiring and only 100A service. Somehow this is a gem of a property though, up ~10% while rest of area down ~10% in same timeframe.


I listed my rental for 600k (realestate agent got me good on this one) WAAAAAAYYYY over what's it worth. The Zestimate shows 600k for the time I had it listed at 600k. now it's listed for 295 and the zestimate is 261k.

I could send a photo if I can figure it out. it's a 45 degree line up to the point i listed it for 600. then tanks back to 261k

Lol, I assume an appraiser was well rewarded on this one. Auction site says you can resell this turd for 310k.

Doesn’t real estate agent have an incentive to help you sell it? Their commission ?

Yes, that's probably why I have had so much difficulty with them.

At the end of the day they are sales people and it's a struggle to pick the price of the house.

Yeah but they should know if they price unrealistically then they also are not getting paid

Seems odd

You would think but it happened. The building is a 4 unit in a residential house so comps are hard to come by. Plus it's legal and all permits were pulled. This is very rare and hard to do because the building has to be zoned correctly.

Either way the realtor should know if it's priced unrealistically.

The new realtor did a much better job setting the right price. it's under contract now for 295k.

that's crazy. I wonder what it will actually sell for...


133,555 at auction was final bid. Bank would have done better taking my bigger bag of coin 3 years back instead of holding out til auction
