Pigs are flying. I'm looking for a hat to eat. And Burbank has its lowest-priced listing that I ever remember. And it's not even a dump! 355 Maple, #114 in the Entourage development just listed at $99,000. It's a 480 sf. studio and the building has lots of amenities. It's close to the studios, too. Is it priced according to comparables or is it an auction price? I vote auction. A similar unit there sold for twice this just last fall. And in November, my buyers closed on a one-bedroom condo on Bethany which was the cheapest thing to list on the market in over a decade and it was $180,000. And prices haven't dropped 50% in four months. So yes, I do think it will go out much higher...still...stay tuned!

More about 1435 Pass, Burbank or the trouble with "auction prices"
See below for previous posts -- and comments -- on the listing at 1435 N. Pass, Burbank. An agent in my office, whose client made an offer on it for $435,000, tells me that there were ten offers by last weekend. His client's offer was not the highest, and he believes Pass went into escrow around $440,000+. This is still less than what I think the house is worth, and in my opinion, the buyers got a fabulous deal. I'll know exactly what it sold for when the price is published in the multiple listing service next month.
I think that if the sellers had priced this a little closer to the comps, it would have taken a longer to sell. That's a bad thing. But I also think they would have ended up with a higher price -- and that's a good thing, if you're a seller.
