$200K+ Loss on Foreclosed Downtown Condo at Discovery #211

This is a huge loss from the high water mark set in the summer of 2004. Based on the new listing price and the original developer price this property is likely valued at mid to late 2004 prices. I also know that this unit was vacant for probably two years so the "all in" loss on this property is quite substantial. I do think this is a good example of once underutilized "portfolio" property that wasn't being used now coming back to the market.

The question is how many properties like this are out there?

Still too high for a 2nd floor unit.

Try mid 400's.

Still too hi at 525K for a 2nd flooor unit.

Mid 400's about right in this free falling market.

Is 613/mo normal for a HOA fee?

Seems high.

That's how much it costs. Discovery has a full time person on site all at times which is one reason why the HOA is so high.

shit for 613$ in HOA that better come with free food and sex. Thats a little less than what I pay in for a 1 bedroom apt. in SD.
