400 thousand dollars, quick hold this bag.

I feel like I'm missing something (Edit: about why someone thinks this is reasonable, not why OP posted it), because that looks like asking just under 400 grand for a half-demolished house.

I read the description. It used to be a duplex with estimated value at 890k. A flood has left one of the two homes only a little damaged, relatively speaking (for now... this doesn't bode well for the foundation). The other house is "condemned", i.e. mostly In a sink hole. There is still a hole in the the side of the standing house. And the foundation is a ticking time bomb, so this is still WAAAAAAY over priced, especially as "an investment opportunity". Someone is trying to get what they can out of a lost cause.

I would say picture 1 is a wee bit deceptive.

Oh, I definitely agree. I didn't mean I don't understand why you'd post it here. I'd be choked if I my real estate agent showed that 1st pic and didn't immediately clarify. I'm confused about the state of the building and the price. The sales pic vs. the reality:

"...but isn't the view fantastic? Just imagine waking up in the morning to the soothing sound of rushing water!"

Rushing through my living room you mean.

Did they change the images or something? I don't see anything wrong now.

[–] FlyingSquid 8 points 10 months ago (1 children)

They did. Originally, most of the house had fallen off a cliff. All I can think is that these are 'before' photos and they're lying.

This but a small dent, bit of plaster and it's good as new

1 bed 1 bath 800sqft was accurate though. 😂
