aren’t you glad you waited on this one

4905 E Mission Hill Dr first hit the market in April 06 for $1,390,000.

And today, reduced yet again, it's at $795,000.  
And I don’t know, but I’d bet the owners are now on the short end of this stick. (no it’s NOT a short sale and NOT a foreclosure, that’s not what I meant) But they paid $640,000 in 05 and then did a very nice renovation. New kitchen with good stuff, renovated baths, travertine floors and other nice things. And now they’ll take $795,00, maybe even less. Do the math.

And it’s in Skyline CC and has wonderful mountain views,

So other than being priced in the stratosphere while there was still a chance to sell it for a good, but reasonable, price, what’s missing here. Well, the backyard. There’s really no backyard.

It has this cute little patio off the kitchen that would be just smashing in NYC or London, but here you want more space.

And there’s plenty of it and a perfectly good spot to make a beautiful backyard- wall it in, put in a pool, plant posies. But the sellers didn’t do it, and I think that’s what’s held this back, that is, once the price got down to earth. 

I’ve shown this house 3 or 4 times and buyers like it, heck, I like it, but everyone wrestles with the backyard thing.

The details>1 acre/3379sf/4 Beds/4 Bths/originally built 1969/4 car garage, including space for an RV/$795/$235/sf/in Skyline CC

if you like it and you can handle the back yard thing, it may be time to stop waiting and start moving on this one.

Debbie D., this is coming back on the market after having gone to contract and, apparently, fallen thru.

Price cut $40K today with new asking price of $699000. Bit of a haircut from starting point of almost $1.4 million in April 2006.

Will 10th price cut be the lucky one?

Very nice house but no backyard and no pool are definitely a dela breaker, unless the price reflected this deficiency. At 235/sqft it seems to me it is still too high. Maybe at 200/sqft it would be a good deal
