Any thoughts?[/quote]

It's a nice house that backs into a freeway. One price drop already. One more might be needed.[/quote]

+1 though I think it's an okay house, not that nice. Some of the updates look pretty nice (the kitchen, some aspects of the bathrooms) but other less so. I think it's really poorly photographed and styled -- if you look at the listing photos from the 2017 sale (in the sale/price history on Redfin) the house looks so much more appealing in those photos! Floors look warmer and lighter, whole house looks more filled with light and charming. I can't figure out if the photos are just bad with poor contrast, or if they made some questionable choices like maybe staining the floors a darker color? There is too much contrast between the dark floors and the light walls that is giving the impression of a darker space and cheaper finishes. Also the older photos make the side patio look much more welcoming and wider.

But the biggest issue is location -- houses within a block or two of SE freeway regularly get a hefty discount even in a neighborhood that has seen prices skyrocket. That freeway is LOUD and prone to accidents.

Agree another price drop is likely in order. Or better staging and photos maybe.[/quote]

I’d say 2 price drops. I don’t see this going for more than $850. I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s closer to $800.[/quote]
