Today's F@cked Buyer

This home was originally listed 156 days ago for $444,000. It has since been reduced 9 times to its current listing price. Now the listing agent's notes plead, "This home is going into foreclosure - hurry and beat the bank! Owners must sell before the bank take its back- short sale required with 3rd party/lender - make offer and it will be submitted to the bank - easy to show- vacant on combo lockbox."


10081 SW 16TH PL, DAVIE, FL 33324



I need your help with this daily feature. Do you know of a F@cked Buyer? Just add the MLS number or the FSBO link in the comments section and I will add it to an this daily update in the future.

You'd be better off waiting until the bank gets it.

Based on the REOs I've seen on the market, banks are starting to dump properties.

They're going to need to, to deal with the liquidity crisis that's going on.

Wellington, FL 33414
MLS #: R2759807
List Price: $988,000
Purchase Price in 10/12/2005: $1,100,000
Expected Loss: A lot

Zestimate: $1,126,436

I estimate the Zestimate is inaccurate.

On thing I noticed about Zillow is that it assumes that because someone paid a certain amount for a house, that it must be worth that.

In other words, it favors the last sale of that property over the recent comps.

If I were to go to a townhouse subdivision where all the units are identical and selling for about $150k each, and then pay $300k for one of them, Zillow will single that unit out and value it at or clost to the new price.

Look at cookie cutter subdivisions or townhouse subdivisions. You will see values all over the place for basically identical units.

In this market, if they want accuracy, they need to focus on recent comps, not what the current owner paid for the property. In most cases, it will be higher than the actual value, as we keep seeing on these "f@cked buyer" posts.
