Okay.... Seriously? $1.25m???

[Anonymous]

I went to go see this place. It was nicely improved (although almost totally cosmetic - paint, good staging, stained the floors, few canned lights), but it was absolutely a tiny house. I was shocked they were asking $1.25. I left connived it was at least $100k over priced and perhaps even $200k. I am now just dumbfounded it is under contract. I live in AU so not complaining, but still shocked.

If you live in AU for real you shouldn't be shocked. Or maybe you don't pay attention to the market in your neighborhood.... ?

2000 sq ft isn't "tiny."

I do. The other houses that have sold in this range have been quite a bit larger / nearer to train, etc. Like I said, if this is the market, I'm not bitching.

Bigger than my current house. I like it a lot!

Really nicely staged. Although the kitchen isn't that nice.

Well, I love the decorating but it does seem high!

It is a perfectly appointed house--mint condition, tasteful upgrades--I do think it's about 100k over. There's only so much you charge in AU Park it's a dream neighborhood but you can't charge Spring Valley sq. footage prices. They over improved the house. I think they might not get back the money put into it for 10+ years.

A family didn't get into a charter and now needs schools but wants to tell friends they live in the city.

Yep, if you're going to charge 1.25, I need to see some Viking or Wolf appliances.

Seems like a good deal. And over 2000 square feet is not "tiny", esp for AU Park (where 1300 sqft cape cods are pretty common). Why are you shocked?

I lol'ed at the staged easel. Like a parent would let a toddler loose with an easel and paint in that basement.

2000 sq. ft in AU Park is a very good sized home. I call BS on OP saying she lives in AU Park--she should expect this.

Or, at least I'll take a range that's not a slide-in style with that awful pop up in the back.

Do you think the house is staged or this is the actual residents' furniture?
