A real massive loss, no doubt.

I used to live in Carmel Mountain Ranch. Thanks for spreading the news to others.

massive loss, yes. time to buy? still a no. I just can't believe someone actually paid over $700,000 on a small 1700 sqft home with basically no lot.

the $540,000 asking price is actually comparable to other homes of similar size. as we head deeper into the slide, the prices will continue to decline. Currently monthly mortgage will take up $2700. how much can you rent this place out for? $2300?

not yet, don't catch the falling knife!
