1.1 million dollars…Really?
House has ben listed since pre-construction.. I think it was originally 899k… This owner wants to buy and flip with no added value but a 2 year ‘appreciation’ time (200k) and most likely the most expensive unit on the block…. It’s been listed for about a year. I wonder he/she will be able to make/continue to make payments if it doesn’t sell…
This home has now been sold.
Sold for 1.11M. Overpayment.
