• 1010 Albion Redding CA 96003 Land Park REO Coming Soon September 8, 2010
  We are informed this one is coming soon, but has no price yet. In fact, the locksmith had begun work on it as we left, so no interior shots. It needs cleaning anyway. The kitchen looks typical of the homes  for sale in the Land Park area. These were built just a few years ago, [...] […]
• Happy Labor Day September 8, 2010
  Didn’t get a bailout? Sorry. […]
• 2223 Terrace St Redding 96001 Button cute $97,800 September 8, 2010
  It’s a sad day when we see the foreclosed home of friends on display here as FDotD. Sigh. Well, this cute bungalow was once a much loved project, but is now waiting for new owners to love it again. You, perhaps? We like the curves and angles, and the hardwood floors of this 1100 sq [...] […]
• 28554 Alpine Way Shingletown 96088 Live in the pines $184,900 September 8, 2010
  Today’s FDotD looked familiar. We showed it a couple of times in 2009. Back then it was listed as 28269 Alpine Way, and this same Shingletown foreclosure home seems to have sold for $109K. Here’s how it looked back then: Remarkably similar. Anyway it must not have lasted long before being foreclosed again. It’s listed [...] […]
• 1430 Spinnaker Redding 96003 ’96 3/2 $199,900 September 8, 2010
  Here’s a nice looking home in a terrific northwest Redding neighborhood. We took this shot above while driving out to the FDotD on Americana a few days ago. We are provided with a large number of images of this foreclosed Redding CA home at the MLS listing here. Hmm, can’t understand why they left the [...] […]
• 2375 Waverly Redding 96001 3/1 1.75 ac $129,500 September 8, 2010
  Our 600th post! Actually, this is our 601st post. We had no idea we’d be doing this when we started out almost 2 years ago. Just look at all the foreclosures. Scrolling back through the posts here is like a daily diary of pain and recovery. Surely, history will look back on this REO era [...] […]
• 1026 Rollingview Dr Redding 96003 Was $430K Now $244,000 September 8, 2010
  According to tax records, today’s FDotD sold for a generous $430K back in 2006. Prior to that it seems to have sold as a new home for $287K in 2004. So: the value of this home nearly doubled in 2 years? Now, the value has descended to less than it cost new 6 years ago? [...] […]
• 4140 Quartz Ct Redding 96001 4/3 pool $224,800 September 8, 2010
  Here’s a 2800 sq ft west Redding home with a pool for less than $100 per sq ft. Below replacement costs, probably. This 2 story 4/3 was built in 1968, and sits at the end of the Quartz Court cul-de-sac. The pie shaped lot is quite large in back, and there is a a portable [...] […]
• 3563 Americana Way Redding 96003 Earth Advantage $251,800 September 8, 2010
  It appears that this lovely home was built in 2008, and then abandoned. It’s a very modern stucco 1681 sq ft 3/2 with granite slab, tile floor kitchen and newly landscaped front and back. Inside laundry, and energy efficient construction. The lot overlooks a greenbelt in a terrific northwest Redding neighborhood, and there is a [...] […]
• 3310 Argyle Road Redding 96002 Indoor/Outdoor living $209,900 September 8, 2010
  Today’s FDotD had quite a back yard. When the patio roof was intact, the space must have been like a virtual indoor/outdoor livingroom, complete with kitchen, pool, and fountain. We see some photos from its prior listing as a failed Short Sale, and you get the idea they were shooting for a kind of Sunset [...] […]
